Context and risks
The oil rally raises fuel costs, a relevant expense for a trucking fleet; with a negative operating margin, the impact is material. Weakness in the industrial sector and falling momentum reinforce the risk.

Verdict: Avoid; extreme leverage and operational deterioration make the risk outweigh any potential short-term reward.
Main risk: The very high leverage (ND/EBITDA 6.18) combined with a negative operating margin and exposure to fuel costs means any further rise in oil or rates could seriously threaten solvency.
