1906 ET [Dow Jones]--J.B. Hunt's second-quarter financial report shows somewhat better resilience to tariffs than Wall Street had been expecting, but Citi analysts Ariel Rosa and Ben Mohr are concerned about the tactics it's using to meet those marks. The logistics company's report reflected better volumes offset by challenged pricing. The resilient volume appears to have come from lower rates, unfavorable mix and lower fuel surcharge revenue, Rosa and Mohr note. They believe this could mean the company is chasing market share by offering low prices. Shares are down 2% in after-hours trading, which Rosa and Mohr read as investor concerns about margins and pricing. (katherine.hamilton@wsj.com)
