What Is P.A.M. Transportation Services Worth?

Good news, investors! P.A.M. Transportation Services is still a bargain right now. Our valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $20.31, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that P.A.M.
