About: Landstar System is an agent based asset-light third-party logistics provider focused on domestic truck brokerage (90% of revenue). Historically, around half of its truck transportation freight is hauled by leased owner-operators with the remainder hauled by third-party broker-carriers. To a smaller degree, it offers intermodal, global air and ocean forwarding, and warehousing services. Landstar also runs a small business that offers insurance programs to captive owner-operators. It has a long history of industry-leading execution and operating profitability.

Landstar: Lacklustre Q4 And FY Results Fail To Compromise Long-Term Potential
Landstar Systems faced a challenging Q4 and FY 2024, with revenue growth stalling, but remains fundamentally profitable with a strong balance sheet and asset-light business model. The asset-light model and scale provide Landstar with flexibility, economies of scale, and a wide economic moat, insulating it from competition. Despite weaker earnings, Landstar's robust ROCE, ROIC, and EBIT margin underscore its financial health, making it a compelling long-term GARP opportunity.

Landstar System Reports Fourth Quarter Revenue of $1.209B and Earnings Per Share of $1.31
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Landstar System, Inc. (NASDAQ: LSTR) (“Landstar” or the “Company”) today reported basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.31 in the 2024 fourth quarter on revenue of $1.209 billion. “The Landstar team of independent business owners and employees continued to perform admirably, despite the continuation of a challenging freight backdrop,” said Landstar President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Lonegro. “I was encouraged to see year-over-year quarterly revenue growth for the first time since the 2022 third quarter. The year-over-year revenue growth was achieved via a sequential increase in overall truck pricing as compared to the 2024 third quarter and a strong revenue performance specific to our unsided/platform service offering. We look to build on this revenue per load momentum as we begin the 2025 fiscal year. Our network of Landstar BCOs, agents and employees are optimistic for an improved freight transportation environment and will continue to strive each day to improve our safety performance and deliver great service to our customers.”
