The big "R". Some people think it just rents trucks, others think it's a trucking company. Actually, they provide dedicated contract carriage services, warehousing, commercial leasing and rental, and sell fuel. You could say "they do it all" - at least in the trucking industry. Can you believe the stock is in the lower end of the $30 range after being at $70 just a few weeks back - well, of course you can - especially after the last few months! This is one stock that will be around (and if you're smart it will be making you money in your portfolio) for years to come.

Ryder historically sticks to its basic business lines. That's where it excels and it has historically maintained value.

part of the mattchenzo 50, picked from the s&p500 on fundamentals, almost sure to outperform!

I know these guys have long term contracts on diesel - but come on - the economy slowing = less shipping with higher costs per load based on gas prices. This one will underperform the rest of the year.

I think fuel will be a huge factor to the upcoming decline for R. They have been hovering around their 52 week high for a while now and are due for a decline.

Company is often mistaken as a "trucking company" but offers more in the way of logistics than trucking as described in the journals. Ryder is well respected and financially sound and should benefit greatly from any increase in distribution. Fuel is a passthrough but don't be fooled about the profits that come from margins on fuel.

Mainly valuation after today's 8% price slide on lower earnings outlook. PE 12.8 seems to price in recession risk for this household name.

big stock buy back and seasonal opportunities will propel this stock to the $60.00 dollar level by the end of the 3rd Qtr.

A bit perplexing but I'm still giving it the thumbs up. With the exception of 1998-2003 (a long stretch of underperformance) R outperformed S&P since 1981. p/b & p/e are good at 1.82 and 12.07 5 yr return is 67.1% div yld 1.60% a/l 1.3 (would like to see more cushion) but overall like the afforability and the returns
