Ryder System R is benefiting from improving economic and freight market conditions in the United States. Strong segmental performances are boosting the company’s top line (up 14.8% year over year in 2021). Revenues at Fleet Management Solutions rose 10% year over year to $5,678.9 million in 2021, driven by higher rental revenues on strong demand and favorable pricing. The Supply-Chain Solutions and Dedicated Transportation Solutions segments’ total revenues surged 24% and 19% to $3,154.8 million and $1,457.2 million, respectively, in 2021, owing to new business, favorable pricing and higher volumes.

Strong demand and pricing in used-vehicle sales and rentals are also aiding Ryder’s performance. Backed by this tailwind, the company provided a bullish outlook for 2022. It expects total revenues as well as operating revenues to increase by approximately 10% each in 2022. Adjusted earnings per share for the full year are estimated to be $11-$12. This indicates an increase of 15-25% from the 2021 reported figure.

Ryder’s measures to reward its shareholders through dividends and share buybacks are encouraging. In February 2022, the company entered into a $300-million accelerated share repurchase program, which will run through October 2022. Previously, in October 2021, R authorized a new share repurchase program to buy back up to 2 million shares of common stock, at its discretion, from Oct 14, 2021 through Oct 14, 2023. In July 2021, the company had announced a 3.6% hike in its quarterly dividend payout to 58 cents per share.

  • Why Carvana Stock Is Falling Hard Today

    Shares of the online car-buying company Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) were plunging this morning, likely after a Barron's article published over the weekend said that the company, in some cases, sold cars before it even had the title to them. Barron's said in its reporting that Carvana was selling cars too quickly during the pandemic, when demand for buying a car online soared, which led to problems in receiving the proper title for vehicles for some customers. Apparently, enough people have experienced this problem that a lawsuit is being brought against the car seller, saying that some customers went years without legally being able to drive vehicles purchased from Carvana.
