Landstar System Inc (LSTR) is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy. The stock is currently oversold based on RSI, but technical indicators such as a negatively expanding MACD and bearish price action suggest caution. The financial performance in Q4 2025 showed significant declines in revenue, net income, and EPS, which raises concerns about growth. While hedge funds are buying and analysts have mixed ratings with some price target increases, the lack of strong positive catalysts and weak financials make this stock a hold for now.
The stock is oversold with an RSI of 16.488, indicating potential for a rebound. However, the MACD is negatively expanding (-1.28), signaling bearish momentum. The stock is trading near its key support level of 137.303, with resistance levels at 150.857 and 164.41. Moving averages are bullish (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200), but the overall trend remains weak.
Hedge funds are aggressively buying, with a 22885.24% increase in buying activity over the last quarter. Analysts have raised price targets recently, with some projecting upside potential (e.g., Wells Fargo's $170 target).
Q4 2025 financials showed significant declines in revenue (-2.94% YoY), net income (-48.17% YoY), and EPS (-46.56% YoY). No recent news or event-driven catalysts. Options data shows a high put-call ratio, indicating bearish sentiment.
In Q4 2025, revenue dropped to $1.18 billion (-2.94% YoY), net income dropped to $23.94 million (-48.17% YoY), and EPS dropped to $0.70 (-46.56% YoY). Gross margin improved slightly to 13.47% (+3.70% YoY), but overall financial performance was weak.
Analysts have mixed ratings. Some firms like Wells Fargo upgraded the stock to Overweight with a $170 price target, while others like Truist lowered their price target to $145 and maintained a Hold rating. The consensus reflects cautious optimism but highlights near-term challenges.
