Current thesis
The bullish interpretation is that Q1 may mark a transition quarter: Asset-Based shipments and tonnage grew, Asset-Light profitability improved sharply year over year, April trends accelerated, and company guidance implies better Q2 sequential performance. Trusted post-print coverage also framed adjusted EPS as slightly ahead of consensus, which supports the idea that operating momentum is improving faster than headline GAAP earnings suggest.
