Oppenheimer raised the firm's price target on Arcosa to $110 from $105 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm notes management was upbeat on fundamentals and highlighted its desire for additional portfolio rationalization. Barge orders continue to ramp, as steel prices have moderated, and an aging fleet drives a replacement cycle. Oppenheimer now estimates 2025 Barge EBITDA of $55M, vs. $35M just two years ago and mid-cycle of $75M.
