Saia Inc's stock rose by 3.02%, reaching a 20-day high. This increase follows recent analyst coverage from Rothschild & Co, which initiated coverage with a Neutral rating and a price target of $262.
The broader market also showed positive momentum, with the Nasdaq-100 up 0.89% and the S&P 500 up 0.37%. This market strength may have contributed to Saia's upward movement.
Analyst ratings can significantly influence investor sentiment, and the positive outlook from Rothschild & Co may encourage further interest in Saia Inc's stock.
