Feb. 29 Transcript : Forward Air Corporation, Q4 2023 Earnings Call, Feb 29, 2024

Summary

  • From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental configuration.
  • The company's Refinitiv ESG score, based on a relative ranking of the company within its sector, comes out particularly poor.

Strengths

  • According to sales estimates from analysts polled by Standard & Poor's, the company is among the best with regard to growth.
  • With regards to fundamentals, the enterprise value to sales ratio is at 0.8 for the current period. Therefore, the company is undervalued.
  • The company's share price in relation to its net book value makes it look relatively cheap.
  • The company has a low valuation given the cash flows generated by its activity.
  • Over the past year, analysts have regularly revised upwards their sales forecast for the company.
  • Growth remains a strong point in this company. In their sales forecast, analysts sound optimistic with regard to sales prospects.
  • The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.

Weaknesses

  • The company's earnings growth outlook lacks momentum and is a weakness.
  • The company's profitability before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization characterizes fragile margins.
  • The company does not generate enough profits, which is an alarming weak point.
  • The company is in a hindered financial situation with significant debt and rather low EBITDA levels.
  • The company's valuation in terms of earnings multiples is rather high. Indeed, the firm is getting paid 40.68 times its estimated earnings per share for the ongoing year.
  • For the past year, analysts have significantly revised downwards their profit estimates.
  • For the last twelve months, the analysts covering the company have given a bearish overview of EPS estimates, resulting in frequent downward revisions.
  • Over the past four months, analysts' average price target has been revised downwards significantly.
  • The overall consensus opinion of analysts has deteriorated sharply over the past four months.
  • Over the past twelve months, analysts' consensus has been significantly revised downwards.
  • Sales estimates for the next fiscal years vary from one analyst to another. This clearly highlights a lack of visibility into the company's future activity.
  • The price targets of various analysts who make up the consensus differ significantly. This reflects different assessments and/or a difficulty in valuing the company.
  • The company's earnings releases usually do not meet expectations.
