Hub Group (HUBG) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Hub Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HUBG) is a leading supply chain solutions provider headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois. Founded in 1971 as Hub City Terminals and renamed Hub Group in 1978, the company completed its initial public offering in 2007. Over the decades, Hub Group has developed a comprehensive multimodal transportation network, leveraging partnerships with major rail carriers and an extensive drayage fleet to offer cost-efficient, sustainable shipping alternatives.

The company operates through two primary segments: Intermodal and Transportation Management. The Intermodal segment combines rail and truck drayage services to move freight over long distances, while the Transportation Management segment encompasses truck brokerage, managed transportation, freight forwarding, warehousing and final‐mile delivery. By integrating advanced technology tools and data analytics, Hub Group provides real-time shipment visibility and optimization strategies tailored to customer needs.

Hub Group serves shippers across North America, including the United States, Canada and Mexico. Its intermodal service links more than 150 origin and destination points, and its transportation management solutions extend to domestic and cross‐border logistics. The company’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in its rail‐centric model, which aims to reduce carbon emissions and improve fuel efficiency compared with long‐haul trucking alone.

Leadership at Hub Group includes President and Chief Executive Officer David P. Yeager, who joined the company’s senior management team in 2014 and was appointed CEO in 2018. Under his direction, Hub Group has continued to expand its service offerings and invest in technology platforms designed to enhance operational efficiency and customer service in an evolving supply chain landscape.
