Investing.com -- Investment bank Jefferies has upgraded C.H. Robinson Worldwide to a “Buy” rating, arguing that the freight broker’s technology transformation, regulatory advantages, and consolidation potential position it for significant long-term earnings growth.
In a research report published May 20, Jefferies raised its price target on CH Robinson shares to $200 from $195, implying roughly 18% upside from the prior closing price of $169.72. Analysts said the company’s recent underperformance relative to transportation peers has created an attractive entry point for investors.
