Reverse DCF
What growth is priced into JBHT?
At today's price, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 14.5% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 9.33% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 16.1% a year, so the market is asking for 1.5 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis JBHT looks priced roughly in line with its own growth record.

J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. is currently running 45.8% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against JBHT's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 95th percentile — an extreme by its own standards, against a typical reading of 23.6%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.
JBHT is trading -22.9% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -24.3%, and the deepest was -37.1% in 2020. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.
Price sits -5.6% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 23rd percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year JBHT closed higher on 54% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.
On October specifically: over 13 years of records, JBHT finished the month higher 9 of 13 times, with a median return of +5.6% and an average of +5.0%. Its strongest month historically has been October at +5.0% on average, its weakest September at -2.8%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.
Overnight risk is measurable too: JBHT has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 97 of 3,267 sessions (3.0% of the time), with the largest gaps running +6.2% and -10.2%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.
Across the last 3 dated reports on file, JBHT moved an average of 2.8% in the session after earnings, closing higher 2 of those 3 times, with a median move of +3.3% and a largest of +5.0%.
All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-10-07 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against JBHT's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
