J.B. Hunt's Revenue Rose 19%, but EPS Missed Estimates by 40%

J.B. Hunt reported Q2 2026 revenue of $3.50 billion, up 19% year-over-year. Operating income climbed 32% to $259.5 million. Yet diluted EPS (earnings per share) of $1.91 fell about 40% below the $3.17 analyst consensus. Operating income grew faster than revenue, so the EPS miss points to below-the-line items — non-operating charges — as the likely culprit.
