KFRC
Kforce Inc.
ABSTRACT
Kforce at ~$28 offers a clean entry to a #1 IT-staffing franchise at cycle trough with visible self-help (mix shift to solutions, SG&A discipline), a net-cash balance sheet, and a 6% dividend. Base case: $32–34 plus yield over 12 months as the staffing cycle inflects and margins normalize.
MRTN
Marten Transport, Ltd.
ABSTRACT
Marten at ~$9.7 offers a net-cash, reefer-skewed TL/Dedicated carrier near cycle trough with identifiable self-help (exiting intermodal) and a clearer mix. Base case: $12–13 with ~32% total return including dividend as operating ratio normalizes and capacity tightens.
SNCY
Sun Country Airlines
ABSTRACT
Sun Country at ~$11.5 embeds a transition penalty from the 2025 cargo ramp while the underlying earnings power in peak leisure/charter plus the expanded Amazon contract sets up 2026 exit-run-rate earnings not reflected today. Base case: $16–19 over 12 months as unit costs normalize.
TTEK
Tetra Tech, Inc.
ABSTRACT
Tetra Tech at ~$34 has over-discounted a finite policy shock (USAID cancellations) while core ex-USAID business grows with expanding margins and excellent cash conversion. Base case: $48–52 within 12 months as the narrative catches up to the data and strategic alternatives progress.
