Summary of U.S. Transportation Outlook - January 2025 Industry Overview - The report focuses on the U.S. Transportation sector, particularly freight transport, and provides an outlook for 2025 - The analysis indicates a muted freight activity backdrop expected to persist in 2025, with limited visibility for a rebound in industrial activity [4][6] Key Insights Freight Activity and Market Conditions - Anticipated volume growth in railroad industrial markets is projected to be between 0% to 1%, with slight growth in chemicals and metals, while automotive remains soft [4][6] - Consumer and retail freight may face challenges due to elevated container imports in 2024 and rising inventory levels, potentially leading to a decline in container imports in the second half of 2025 [4][6] - A gradual capacity attrition in the truckload market is expected, supporting a 3% to 5% increase in truckload pricing [4][6] Sector-Specific Analysis - **Railroads**: Despite a muted volume backdrop, an improving mix could support modest margin expansion and EPS growth [6] - **Parcel Services**: Improvement in pricing and mix is expected to support margin expansion, although market volume growth remains low [6] - **LTL (Less Than Truckload)**: Limited visibility for a stronger industrial backdrop leads to caution regarding near-term EPS performance [6] - **Truckload**: Continued tightening in the market is anticipated, supporting contract pricing gains and margin improvement [6] - **Intermodal**: Elevated container imports in 2024 pose risks to intermodal volumes in the latter half of 2025 [6] Top Stock Picks for 2025 - **CPKC**: Expected to achieve mid-to-high single-digit revenue growth, supporting 10% to 15% EPS growth [8] - **UPS**: Anticipated to have limited downside to 2025 consensus EPS, with a favorable trend in revenue per piece expected to continue [8] - **CHRW**: New management and stronger execution are expected to leverage technology for better margins [8] Financial Projections - CPKC is projected to realize $1.0 billion in revenue synergies in 2025, translating to a 7.5% year-over-year revenue growth [10] - UPS's domestic revenue is expected to improve, supporting margin expansion in 2025 [12] - CHRW is expected to see further improvement in operating income driven by technology and volume growth [14] Valuation Insights - Truckload, LTL, and Asset Light sectors show elevated absolute P/E valuations compared to historical averages, while Rail and Parcel sectors are at a discount [21] - CNI and CSX exhibit the most pronounced discounts relative to their 5-year average forward P/E [21] Economic Indicators - Container imports are projected to grow by 13% year-over-year in 2024, but there are concerns about potential softening in 2025 [24] - Real disposable income growth has moderated to 2.3%, with the goods share of spending normalizing to pre-COVID levels [27] - Industrial production is expected to show muted growth, with rail industrial volumes projected to increase by 0.8% year-over-year in 2025 [34] Conclusion - The U.S. Transportation sector is facing a challenging environment with muted growth expectations across various segments - Key players like CPKC, UPS, and CHRW are positioned for potential growth, but broader economic indicators suggest caution moving into 2025 - Investors should monitor inventory levels, consumer spending trends, and macroeconomic conditions closely as they may impact freight activity and stock performance in the sector [4][6][8][21][24][27][34]

Trump 胜选与美联储降息后的市场方向 20241111 摘要 • 特朗普再次胜选对全球市场和经济的影响主要体现在短期和中期两个方 面。短期内，市场预期特朗普的减税、放松监管等政策将促进经济增长， 推动股票上涨、债券价格下跌，银行、金融、汽车等行业将受益。 • 中期来看，特朗普的加征关税、驱逐非法移民等政策可能带来负面影响， 推高通胀并压低经济增长。根据彼得森国际经济研究所（PIIE）的测算， 如果特朗普实施其竞选承诺，美国 GDP 可能下降 200 个基点，而通胀则会 上升 400 个基点以上。 • 特朗普政策对美国财政及国际贸易具有深远影响。加征关税将推高美国商 品价格，提升整体通胀水平，并抑制消费需求和企业生产效率。驱逐非法 移民和限制新移民流入将减少劳动力供给，推高工资水平及整体物价。 • 针对当前形势，应采取进攻型资产配置策略，以增配股票为主，同时逐步 减配债券。具体行业选择上，应重点关注银行、金融、汽车等受益于去监 管与刺激经济政策推动的部门。 • 特朗普的政策可能推升通胀，并压制经济增长。减税政策实施时点可能较 晚，而关税和限制移民流入等措施可能压低经济增长。 • 市场对于美联储未来降息路径已 ...
