NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Hub Group (Nasdaq:HUBG) is trading at unusually high volume Tuesday with 1.4 million shares changing hands. It is currently at 4.1 times its average daily volume and trading down $3.03 (-8.8%) at $31.47 as of 3:35 p.m. ET.

Hub Group has a market cap of $1.3 billion and is part of the services sector and transportation industry. Shares are down 1.8% year to date as of the close of trading on Monday.

Hub Group, Inc., an asset-light freight transportation management company, provides intermodal, truck brokerage, and logistics services in North America. Its intermodal services include arranging for the movement of customers' freight in containers and trailers over long distances. The company has a P/E ratio of 25.4, equal to the average transportation industry P/E ratio and above the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.7.

TheStreet Ratings rates Hub Group as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and impressive record of earnings per share growth. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including weak operating cash flow and poor profit margins. You can view the full Hub Group Ratings Report.
