Key Points

  • ODFL is well-positioned to benefit from de-globalization trends that are expected to give domestic businesses bigger roles in the supply chain.
  • CSX is trading at 18.5x trailing earnings (compared to 25.4x for the industrial sector as a whole) and also pays a dividend that has been increased for 19 straight years.
  • If the tide swings in favor of residential construction bulls and commercial building activity improves, TopBuild could be a top industrial stock this year.
  • Five stocks we like better than Old Dominion Freight Line.
