Barclays upgraded C.H. Robinson to Overweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $200, up from $145. Following several years of a "stagnant if not contracting" industrial economy for freight carriers and a volatile air travel market, Barclays sees "idiosyncratic stock opportunities" across the transports and airlines, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm expects C.H. Robinson's focus on operations, including its use of artificial intelligence agent, to drive better efficiency in 2026.
