Heartland Express Could Double In The Next Cycle
Heartland Express's stock could double in 2-3 years as freight rates stabilize and the company continues deleveraging and integrating recent acquisitions. Despite a 47.42% decline in share price, Heartland Express is poised for a turnaround due to effective management and a cyclical upswing in the trucking industry. The company has reduced over $300 million in debt since 2022, aiming for a debt-free balance sheet, which should significantly de-risk the business.
