Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Wabash National Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Wabash National Corporation is one of the leading manufacturers of semi trailers in North America. Established in 1985, the company specializes in the design and production of dry freight vans, refrigerated vans, flatbed trailers, drop deck trailers, and intermodal equipment. Its innovative core products are sold under the DuraPlate, ArcticLite, and Eagle brand names. The company operates two wholly owned subsidiaries: Transcraft Corporation, a manufacturer of flatbed and drop deck trailers; and Wabash National Trailer Centers, a retail distributor of new and used trailers and aftermarket parts throughout the U.S. and Canada. " (4/12/2017)
• 2. BMO Capital Markets analysts commented, "It certainly feels different this time. Although the past three downturns saw 50%-plus declines in trailer demand and negative net income at the troughs for Wabash, we believe this cycle could buck the trend. This assumption is based on pentup demand in the trailer market and Wabash working to reduce costs and diversify the company. However, while the shares have recently moved materially higher, likely boosted by the 22% of its outstanding float shorted, we believe declining earnings will constrain further upside over the next one to two years." (2/6/2017)
• 3. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "In accordance with those increases in industry estimates, we are increasing our 2017 and 2018 EPS estimates for Wabash National from $1.15 and $1.00 to $1.40 and $1.35 and raising our rating from Sell to Hold. Our target price is $17 (or 12.5x our 2018 EPS estimate of $1.35). Our prior Sell thesis had been based on the theory that semi-trailer demand would more quickly resemble Class 8 tractor demand, which had been on a sharp downward trajectory throughout 2016, as Class 8 orders declined 42% y/y last year. Historically, tractor demand and trailer demand have been more highly correlated than they have been in the past year, which we attribute to an aged semi-trailer demographic that has been more conducive to replacement as well as operational factors, such as fleets using higher trailer-to-tractor ratios to deal with hours-of-service regulations."
