Theft is surging ($725M losses), "strategic theft" (identity theft) is rising, and 60% of freight is underinsured. Widespread theft acts as a hidden tax on the trucking ecosystem, increasing insurance premiums and operational friction. While large players are insulated, the broader sector faces headwinds from "shrink" and liability disputes, potentially squeezing margins across the industry until security solutions scale. WATCH (Sector Headwind). Rapid adoption of new spot-market insurance technologies could mitigate these risks faster than anticipated. |

The "AI Scare Trade" has expanded from software to physical industries. The US Trucking Index and Logistics sector saw massive price drops, driven by the perception that AI tools will disrupt their business models. The market is currently pricing in "AI displacement" risk. If a sector is viewed as an "AI Victim" (like SaaS last week, Logistics this week), capital flees rapidly regardless of immediate earnings, creating downward momentum. SHORT / AVOID sectors currently in the crosshairs of the "AI Scare" narrative (Logistics, Trucking, Legacy SaaS). The selloff may be an overreaction/panic selling, presenting a value trap if fundamentals remain strong. |
