Landstar System reports Q1 EPS $1.32, consensus $1.28

Reports Q1 revenue $1.17B, consensus $1.12B. “It’s been a privilege to join Landstar and work alongside our customers, independent agents, BCOs, employees and the Board. The Landstar team performed admirably in a challenging freight environment as both the number of loads hauled via truck and revenue per load on loads hauled via truck exceeded the high-end of the Company’s guidance issued in our 2023 fourth quarter earnings release,” said Landstar President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Lonegro. “The Company is laser-focused on supporting our network of small business owners and executing on our strategic growth initiatives and technology enhancements. We are excited about the future, the new leadership structure of our sales organization and the strength of our balance sheet. Landstar is well positioned to capitalize when freight fundamentals improve. On tomorrow’s earnings call, we look forward to discussing first quarter earnings and providing second quarter guidance, which will be included within the slide presentation that accompanies the call.”
