Schneider Is a Top-Tier Transport

Much of newly public Schneider National's business is commoditized, but its intermodal and logistics segments are well positioned.

Mentioned: Schneider National Inc (SNDR)

Matt Young: We recently initiated coverage on newly public multimodal transportation and logistics provider Schneider National, which held its IPO in April at $19 per share. The stock is currently trading at about $20, not far off our $21 fair value estimate.

We did not award an economic moat to Schneider overall because of its flagship truckload shipping unit, which operates in a highly commoditized marketplace. That said, investors should note that Schneider is a high-quality transport, and its intermodal and asset-light logistics segments do show signs of having a narrow moat.

How we approach editorial content

Maintaining independence and editorial freedom is essential to our mission of empowering investor success. We provide a platform for our authors to report on investments fairly, accurately, and from the investor’s point of view. We also respect individual opinions––they represent the unvarnished thinking of our people and exacting analysis of our research processes. Our authors can publish views that we may or may not agree with, but they show their work, distinguish facts from opinions, and make sure their analysis is clear and in no way misleading or deceptive.

To further protect the integrity of our editorial content, we keep a strict separation between our sales teams and authors to remove any pressure or influence on our analyses and research.
