Analysis

Landstar System, Inc (LSTR) currently trades at $182.99, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $92.45, implying the stock looks roughly 49.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 73/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Landstar System, Inc generated revenue of $4.8B at a net margin of 2.6%. Revenue grew 1.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 14.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $263M. Fundamentals as of Jul 12, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $69.35 (bear case) to $115.57 (bull case); at $182.99, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 17% below its 52-week high and 57% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -11% fair-value upside, at -49%, LSTR screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
