Reason
Baird resumed coverage of Heartland Express with a Neutral rating and $9 price target. The firm is resuming coverage on the trucking, logistics and rail sectors with "a constructive, but balanced view" of the near-term headwinds, risks and earning prospects. The conditions that "typically precede a turn are largely in place," but how the remainder of 2025 unfolds remains uncertain, the analyst tells investors.

Reason
Barclays analyst Eric Morgan raised the firm's price target on Heartland Express to $11 from $10 and keeps an Underweight rating on the shares. The firm says sharply higher less than truckload multiples reflect market enthusiasm for prospects beyond the current downturn. Barclays' refreshed upcycle analysis supports meaningful earnings growth potential through 2026, the analyst tells investors in a research note. An upcycle analysis suggests plenty of volume potential for the group, supported by share gains on top of demand recovery, contends the firm.
