J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. Opens New Office in Queretaro, Mexico J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. and GMXT announced the launch of a new intermodal offering for Mexico businesses with service-sensitive freight delivery. The new offering - Quantum de Mexico, a J.B. Hunt, BNSF and GMXT service™? - will follow the successful service model of its US counterpart launched by J.B. Hunt and BNSF in November 2023. Quantum provides the consistency, agility and speed needed to transport sensitive highway freight using rail, meeting businesses' " just in time" freight needs. The service is optimized for efficiency, offering a 95+% on-time delivery rate that's up to one day faster than traditional intermodal service. The new service utilizes the latest advancements in tracking and monitoring systems, providing real-time visibility and control over shipments, minimizing delays and optimizing performance. Designated J.B. Hunt,BNSF and GMXT support teams will provide 24x7 oversight, delivering consistent and reliable transit times including features like priority drayage as well as railcar loading and unloading. The three announced the new service at the Congreso Intermodal de la Asociacion Mexicana del Transporte Intermodal (AMTI) in Puerto Vallarta on May 30. To support customer needs and enable growth in Mexico, J.B. Hunt has opened a new office in Queretaro, Mexico. Quantum de Mexico will operate on key routes connecting major cities and industrial hubs in both countries. Some of the primary markets served include: US: Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, the US West Coast, and US eastern destinations; Mexico: Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey. In 2024, J.B. Hunt, DNSF and GMXT launched intermodal service to and from Mexico through the Eagle Pass Gateway. Together, the three companies provide one of the most comprehensive transportation networks reaching locations throughout North America: J.B. Hunt owns and operates the largest intermodal fleet in North America with unparalleled coast-to-coast market access. BNSF operates the largest intermodal rail network in North America. GMXT is the largest rail provider in Mexico. As more businesses utilize Mexico to solve supply chain challenges, the country has grown to be one of the Top 10 exporters in the world, with more than 2/3 of those exports destined for the US. Top export industries include automotive, manufacturing, agricultural, electronics and other service-sensitive freight areas. The collaboration looks to capitalize on the untapped potential of intermodal service for businesses moving freight in and out of Mexico, including converting OTR highway freight to rail intermodal and optimizing container efficiency. Intermodal conversion is the most widely available ground transportation solution for cutting carbon emissions, reducing a shipment's carbon footprint by an average of 65% compared to OTR truck transportation.

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: €1.7m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Anuncio • Nov 05
