Landstar System stock (ISIN US5150981018) fell 1.01 percent to USD 166.98 on Nasdaq on September 23, 2026. The move followed a second-quarter earnings picture with revenue growth but an earnings miss.

Revenue grows while EPS misses

Landstar reported USD 1.432 billion in second-quarter revenue, up 18.2 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, according to Landstar System. The result exceeded the USD 1.34 billion consensus cited by MarketBeat.

Adjusted earnings per share came to USD 1.44 in Q2/2026, compared with a USD 1.49 consensus estimate, a shortfall of USD 0.05, according to MarketBeat. That split matters because the top-line acceleration did not translate into an earnings beat.

Analyst targets show a wide gap

MarketBeat reported on September 22, 2026, that 17 analysts held a consensus rating of Hold, with an average 12-month price target of USD 196. That target stands USD 29.02 above the September 23 price, or 17.4 percent higher.

Argus lowered its target to USD 160 in a report dated September 16, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. The difference between USD 160 and the USD 196 consensus target highlights the disagreement over freight demand, margins and valuation.

Stock remains below yearly high

At USD 166.98, Landstar trades 26.9 percent below its 52-week high of USD 228.46 and USD 46.97 above its 52-week low of USD 120.01. The market capitalization stood at USD 5,666,783,562 on September 23, 2026.

September price sets the reference

Landstar System stock stood at USD 166.98 on Nasdaq on September 23, 2026, down USD 1.70 or 1.01 percent from the previous close of USD 168.68. The combination of 18.2 percent revenue growth and a USD 0.05 EPS miss leaves earnings conversion as the key measure in the next report.
