Freaking cool CH Robinson – it's the operating model, stupid!
Bless the ‘new operating model’
’All’s well that ends where it all started’ I argued in my 26 July coverage of Mainfreight (MFT), New Zealand’s bijou crown jewel in transport and logistics.
And since then, the stock has added… NZ$1 (US$0.62) to its NZ$72 level (US$43.8) in just over two months.
From a value perspective, suggesting that MFT is dead wood isn’t far-fetched. Even more so, in fact, after running my DCF calculator at the end of the… grilling.

Add to that the succession issue ( Braid Jnr running the Americas) and zero appetite for M&A and you get a moribund stock.
