What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may underestimate the resilience of demand in the logistics sector, especially given Expeditors' strong track record of beating estimates.

Supporting Evidence

The options market is pricing a smaller move than the historical average, indicating potential upside surprise.

Key Risk

If the EPS comes in below $1.50, it could undermine the bullish sentiment surrounding the stock.

Edge
