DA Davidson reiterates Neutral rating on Wabash National stock amid freight challenges

Investing.com - DA Davidson has reiterated its Neutral rating and $9.50 price target on Wabash National (NYSE:WNC) following the company’s second-quarter 2025 results. The stock, currently trading at $9.68, sits near the low end of analyst targets ranging from $9.50 to $16, according to InvestingPro data.

The freight market cycle continues to present challenges for the trailer manufacturer, according to the research firm’s analysis of the quarterly performance.

Industry forecasters currently expect trailer demand to improve in 2026, but DA Davidson notes that confidence in this forecast remains low among market participants.

The research firm highlighted that a key aspect of any trailer market recovery would involve weaker fleets exiting the market, which could potentially extend the timeline for recovery as used units are resold.

DA Davidson expressed caution about the current market position, noting that while cyclical stocks can be attractive when end-markets appear to have reached their lowest point, it remains uncertain whether the challenging conditions for Wabash National have fully run their course.
