The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- JBHT closes below its 50-day average ($240.87), and the 50-day sits below the 200-day ($246.23): on both averages the chart reads as a downtrend.
- At $223.80, JBHT is 25.3% below its 1-year high of $299.76, set on July 16, 2026, and 41.8% above its 1-year low of $157.82 (November 18, 2025).
- Over the past month JBHT fell 2.6%, from $229.74 to $223.80.
- JBHT trades at 31.6x its last twelve months of earnings and 22.7x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 38.9% higher.
- Its P/E is 36.6% above the 23.1x median of the 3 other integrated freight & logistics companies we track (UPS, EXPD, CHRW).
- JBHT's 30-day volatility, 28.4% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.8%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 1.26: over five years of monthly returns, JBHT moved about 1.26% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- A close above the 50-day average, $240.87 (+7.6%), would turn the read to a rebound; an uptrend also needs the 50-day to climb 2.2% to cross the 200-day at $246.23.
- A close above $299.76 (+33.9%) would be a new 1-year high; below $157.82 (−29.5%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for JBHT, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under integrated freight & logistics among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
