Indeed, EPS should reach USD 2.98 in 2014 and USD 3.40 in 2015. Its financial situation is healthy, with positive finance and good profitability.

Technically, Landstar System got into oversold territory after the return close to the USD 63.5 support, which led to a rebound movement towards the USD 68.4 resistance. Prices are supported by the good orientation of moving averages, particularly the 20-hours one. The stock is now traded near its resistance and the crossing of this threshold will be a bullish signal to target the long term resistance at USD 73.5.
Therefore, investors could take a long position once the USD 68.4 resistance is clearly crossed. The target will be the long term resistance of USD 73.5, and a stop loss will be placed under the 20-day moving average, protecting from a bearish movement.
