You're a year late. VZ spotted the trend this time last year, and that was way before Putin invaded Ukraine. ~vz
Thanks VZ. Funny you mentioned Purple... I did a refit of my place with new beds earlier this year. Instead, I picked up some Dormeo Toppers. OMFG! The current Purple TV ad in my area is cute!

His view is that cost take-out at TForce Freight and buybacks can drive a 50% increase in 2024 EPS versus 2021. In addition, a robust free cash flow profile provides optionality for either more significant share repurchases, or significant M&A, providing a valuation buttress, Monigan notes. Given the cyclical headwinds, the analyst believes TFI's idiosyncratic self-help story can outperform on the back of 1,000bps of margin expansion potential at US LTL, the ability to execute a 10% share repurchase, and the potential for significant M&A.
