The shares were sold at $227.25 apiece, resulting in a total transaction value of $227,250. After the sale, Delco directly held 6,983 shares of J.B. Hunts common stock.
The insider sale comes amid several corporate developments for J.B. Hunt.

Following the quarterly report, Benchmark increased its price target for J.B. Hunt to $220 while keeping a Buy rating. UBS also raised its target, to $196, though it maintained a Neutral rating on the stock. These analyst moves followed the announced quarterly performance and reflect differing assessments of the companys outlook by the two firms.
