The Miami based Ryder System, Inc (NYSE:R) stock plunged more than any stock in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index on Friday as investors responded to the truck leasing corporation’s lower earnings estimate for the Q2 and full year.
Ryder System late Thursday lowers its forecasts for both periods mostly because of reduced commercial truck rental demand. The company has more than 25,000 late-model automobiles for rent comprising vans and trucks.
The delay highlights the still-fragile state of the United States economy, as corporations do not require as many trucks to haul shipment.
Ryder System anticipates earning in the range of $3.65 to $3.85 a share for full fiscal year 2012, low from a previous range of $4.02 to $4.12. Analysts presently anticipate $3.86 a share.
