Hub Group (HUBG) shares plummeted 5.27% in Friday's trading session following the release of its second-quarter earnings report. The transportation management company's financial results fell short of analyst expectations, prompting concerns among investors.

For Q2 2025, Hub Group reported adjusted earnings of $0.45 per diluted share, down from $0.47 a year earlier and slightly above the FactSet consensus of $0.44. However, revenue for the quarter came in at $905.6 million, falling short of the expected $918.8 million and representing a significant decrease from $986.5 million in the same period last year.

Adding to investor worries, Hub Group narrowed its 2025 earnings guidance to between $1.80 and $2.05 per share, down from the previous range of $1.75 to $2.25. The company also revised its annual revenue outlook to about $3.6 billion to $3.8 billion, lower than the earlier projection of $3.6 billion to $4 billion. This cautious outlook, coupled with the earnings miss, likely contributed to the stock's sharp decline.
