On the filings behind it, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. earns 6.0 out of 10 for business quality as of October 18, 2026. That is solid quality on our scale. A solid reading is a respectable business with clear strengths and at least one area that falls short of the best in its field. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.
Set against 270 Industrials companies, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. lands at the 60th percentile, above the middle of the group. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.6 and a company needs 6.5 to reach its top quarter, which leaves J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. in line with the median.
On profitability, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. scores 5.6, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.9 across 262 Industrials companies, which places it above them, at the 62nd percentile. An average profitability reading usually means the company earns a fair return without obvious pricing power, so the other pillars decide more of the story.
J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc.’s solvency score is 8.0 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 7.1 among 241 Industrials companies, that is above the group and the 62nd percentile. Strong solvency points to a balance sheet that can carry its debts comfortably, with interest well covered and little pressure from creditors.
Growth scores 3.7 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 216 Industrials companies is 5.4, so J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 28th percentile. A low growth score is common for large, established companies and is not a verdict on quality on its own, but it limits how the business can compound.
On efficiency, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. scores 8.1, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 6.2 across 264 Industrials companies, which places it well above them, at the 91st percentile. High efficiency means assets and earnings are being turned into cash and output better than at most peers, a sign of a well run operation.
Predictability scores 5.4 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 267 Industrials companies is 5.0, so J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 57th percentile. Consistency near the median is typical, and it is worth checking whether the swings came from the business itself or from one-off items.
This is a lopsided profile. Efficiency scores 8.1 but growth only 3.7, a gap of 4.4 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. An efficiency lead means the operation turns what it has into cash better than it does anything else. A growth shortfall often comes with size or a maturing market, and is less of a concern if the other pillars are strong.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is growth. If it rose to the median of Industrials companies, 5.4, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc.’s overall score would go from 6.0 to about 6.3. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.
