ARCB's valuation is expensive, below average fundamentals limit its appeal, while forward estimates point to improving growth and profitability, though analyst coverage is limited.

Score change since last week

The score fell 14 points, mainly due to valuation and price changes. Price rose 3.4%, from $136.54 to $141.12. Reported EPS was unchanged, so the higher price reduced valuation support.

Valuation and price changes subtracted 13.7 points. The comparison uses the same available inputs on both dates. Displayed changes are rounded to whole points.

Valuation

Historical cheapness: current PE is 195.4× versus the full-history median of 14.1× shown in the valuation table, producing 5/100. Positive weekly observations receive equal weight; lower past EPS alone does not disqualify them.

Outlook-adjusted valuation: 5/100. The model applies a 39.4% earnings-growth assumption and a 10% annual return hurdle, with positive credit limited by evidence coverage and confidence.

Forward price scenarios use recent PE history separately. Recent history has a separately weighted median of 15.8× (18-month half-life). The favorable scenario uses 158× PE and $1 projected EPS, informed by growth, margins and earnings-quality checks. This is a model scenario, not an analyst target. A return to the full-history median is not assumed.

Cash flow & growth

Business trends are weak. Over the past year: revenue +3.7%, earnings -89.7%, operating margin -4.7 percentage points. Free cash flow is 4.6% of revenue. The business score is 38.4/100. Growth, margins and cash generation drive the score. Missing or older data receives less weight.

Favorable scenario

Stronger earnings and valuation could support a higher share price.

Our favorable case uses $1.04 of EPS and a 158× PE, suggesting a share price of about $164.13. Valuation history and outlook inform the PE.

The displayed favorable scenario is 21.7% upside, or about $164.12.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.

Downside scenario

Weaker than expected earnings could put pressure on the share price.

Our downside case uses $0.60 of EPS and a 144.5× PE, suggesting a share price of about $86.95 — 36% below today’s price. Valuation history and outlook inform the PE.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.
