Significance 4

President of DCS sells 7,644 shares of JBHT for $2.0M on 5/15/2026; reduces stake 24.2%.

Bradley W. Hicks, President of DCS, sold 7,644 shares of JBHT at $261.91 per share for $2,002,008.70, reducing his holdings from 31,626 to 23,982 shares (a 24.2% reduction). His cross-ticker open-market trading history shows 2 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +12.8%, but a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating that on average the stock rose after he sold. At JBHT specifically, his prior two sales (on 2026-02-04 and 2026-01-22) yielded 90-day returns of +8.0% and +17.6% respectively, with neither occurring at a decline (0 of 2 well-timed). This pattern of sales followed by positive returns repeats in the current filing context. The company's fundamentals show revenue of $3,056,491,000.00 with annual growth of -0.7%, indicating flat-to-declining top-line performance despite the stock's post-sale strength in prior windows.

EVP Darren P. Field sells 4,000 JBHT shares at $254.48, retains 8,696 shares post-sale

Field executed an open-market sale of 4,000 shares valued at $1,017,940.00, reducing his JBHT position from 12,696 to 8,696 shares.

At a P/E of 39.53 and market cap of $24,601,719,070.67, JBHT is a large-cap holding; the company reports $3,056,491,000.00 in quarterly revenue, though annual revenue growth stands at -0.7%. Field retains material holdings of 8,696 shares post-transaction, preserving continued exposure to the name.

EVP Spencer executes 21 purchases totaling 204 shares for $31,872.40 over 3.3 years; average $155.65 vs current $200.25

Frazier Spencer, EVP of Sales and Marketing at J B HUNT TRANSPORT SERVICES INC, executed 21 separate share purchases totaling 204 shares for $31,872.40, with a blended average price of $155.65. The transactions span from November 2022 through November 2025, with purchases at prices ranging from $133.19 to $207.37. Spencer's post-transaction holdings stand at 6,183 shares, a 3.4% increase from prior holdings of 5,979 shares. At the current market price of $200.25, these purchases show a cumulative gain of approximately 28.5% above the blended average transaction price, though the stock is currently trading 14.8% below its 52-week high of $234.92. This multi-year, small-dollar accumulation pattern is consistent with ongoing open-market acquisitions by an executive rather than a concentrated confidence signal, particularly given the extended timeframe and modest total dollar commitment relative to the company's market cap of $18.9B.

JBHT General Counsel sold 2,238 shares at $232.00 on 2026-02-27; retains 16,650 shares post-sale.

Jennifer Boattini, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc., sold 2,238 shares for $519,216.00 on 2026-02-27, reducing her holdings from 18,888 shares to 16,650 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $233.41, with the stock currently at $232.07. While the transaction represents a discrete 11.8% reduction in her reported holdings, it occurs in the context of strong near-term price momentum (30-day change of +14.5%, 90-day change of +25.0%) and a relatively elevated valuation multiple (P/E of 36.60). The company's trailing annual revenue growth stands at -0.7%, suggesting flat organic expansion despite recent share price appreciation.

Significance 4

JBHT president Bradley W. Hicks sells 4,028 shares at $225.13; stock now at 52-week high of $228.22

Bradley W. Hicks, President of DCS at J.B. Hunt Transport Services, sold 4,028 shares for $906,828.88 on 2026-02-04 at $225.13 per share, reducing his holdings from 34,423 to 30,395 shares. The sale occurs near the stock's 52-week high of $228.22, with the price having advanced 13.0% over 30 days and 35.0% over 90 days, indicating a period of strong momentum. However, this transaction lacks distinguishing signals: Hicks has only 1 prior open-market sell on record across all tickers, making it impossible to establish a meaningful pattern of timing acuity at this company or elsewhere. The company's fundamentals show a $3.1B revenue base with -5.8% annual revenue decline and a P/E ratio of 37.97, metrics that warrant separate scrutiny independent of this insider's single recent sale.

EVP Darren P. Field sells 9,000 shares of JBHT at $219.76, reducing holdings by 45.6%; stock near 52-week high (+12.1% in 30 days, +29.6% in 90 days).

Darren P. Field, EVP and President Intermodal, sold 9,000 shares at $219.76 on 2026-02-03, reducing his holdings from 19,736 to 10,736 shares—a 45.6% reduction. The sale occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $220.61, with JBHT up 12.1% over the past 30 days and 29.6% over 90 days. Field's prior sales at JBHT show mixed timing outcomes: his 2025-10-29 sale was followed by a 20.0% gain (poorly timed), while his 2024-02-23 sale preceded a 25.9% decline (well-timed). Across his full cross-ticker track record of 4 prior sales, the average 90-day return was -0.7% with a 33.33% well-timed rate. The company's fundamentals show rising valuations (P/E 36.71) against declining annual revenue growth (-5.8%), presenting a backdrop where an executive sale near multi-month highs may warrant investor attention to underlying operational momentum.

JBHT President Hicks sells 3,919 shares at $210.13; holds 26,580 post-sale amid -5.8% FY revenue decline

Bradley W. Hicks, President of DCS, sold 3,919 shares of J B HUNT TRANSPORT SERVICES INC (JBHT) at $210.13 on 2026-01-22, reducing his holdings from 30,499 to 26,580 shares (a -12.8% reduction in stake). The transaction occurred near the 52-week high of $210.73, though JBHT's fundamentals show underlying weakness: annual revenue declined -5.8% year-over-year despite the stock appreciating 25.2% over the past 90 days and trading at a P/E of 34.40. The sale is quantitatively modest relative to Hicks' remaining position, yet the timing near recent highs against a backdrop of revenue contraction warrants investor attention to whether operational momentum is stabilizing or deteriorating.

COO Hobbs Nicholas sold 3,038 shares of JBHT at $201.97; stock now at $209.70, 90-day gain 25.8%

Hobbs Nicholas (EVP and COO) sold 3,038 shares of J B HUNT TRANSPORT SERVICES INC (JBHT) on 2026-01-20 at $201.97, reducing his holdings by 3.3% to 90,318 shares. The stock has appreciated 5.1% in the 30 days since the sale and 25.8% over the trailing 90-day period, now trading at $209.70. His cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% well-timed rate on prior sells—defined as instances where the stock declined after the transaction—suggesting a historical pattern of selling ahead of downturns. However, at JBHT specifically, his prior sell in 2023 demonstrated a -13.1% 90-day return (well-timed by that metric), but the current sale follows two consecutive buys in April 2025 that each captured double-digit 90-day gains (+13.2% and +16.2%). The timing of this sale relative to the stock's recent 25.8% run-up and proximity to the 52-week high warrants tracking whether this represents a discretionary decision or adherence to a pre-established trading plan.

Significance 4

JBHT EVP Field sells 6,500 shares at $169.00; holdings reduced 33.4% to 12,976 shares post-transaction.

Field Darren P., EVP and President Intermodal, executed an open-market sale of 6,500 shares at $169.00 on 2025-10-29, reducing his holdings from 19,476 to 12,976 shares (a 33.4% reduction). The transaction occurs at $169.00 versus a current price of $168.88, placing the sale near the 52-week midpoint and -14.4% from the 52-week high of $197.19. Within Field's cross-ticker trading history, his 3 prior sells posted an average 90-day return of -11.1% with a 50.00% well-timed rate, though at JBHT specifically, his timing has been mixed: 1 of 2 measurable prior sales was well-timed (2024-02-23 generated a -25.9% 90d return), while the 2024-08-23 sale was followed by a +3.7% gain. The company's fundamentals show revenue of $3,052,897,000.00 and annual revenue growth of -5.8%, with a P/E of 28.10, suggesting valuation pressure amid declining top-line growth. The sale's significance is tempered by the lack of a clear directional signal: the stock has rallied 25.3% in 30 days and 17.2% in 90 days, yet Field's own prior sales at this ticker show inconsistent outcomes, and his motivations for a 33.4% position reduction remain opaque.

Significance 5

EVP Eric McGee purchases 1,147 shares of JBHT at $140.76; holdings rise 18.4% to 7,396 shares

McGee Eric, EVP of ICS at J.B. Hunt Transport Services, acquired 1,147 shares at $140.76 for $161,552.93, increasing his holdings by 18.4% from 6,248 to 7,396 shares. The purchase occurred when JBHT was trading at $140.76, which is 29.3% below its 52-week high of $197.19 and has declined 8.7% over the prior 30 days. The company faces near-term headwinds: annual revenue growth is -5.8%, and the current P/E of 24.38 reflects elevated valuation despite the recent sell-off. This open-market buy by a senior executive during a period of revenue contraction and price weakness provides a data point about insider views, though the transaction size and McGee's title (EVP of a business unit rather than C-suite) limit broader inference about company-wide confidence.
