Sterling holds ground amid stabilizing U.K. debt market
Investing.com - UBS downgraded Schneider National (NYSE:SNDR) from Buy to Neutral while raising its price target to $26.00 from $25.00. The transportation company, currently trading at $24.78 with a market capitalization of $4.34 billion, has seen its stock decline about 15% year-to-date.
The transportation and logistics company, which operates truckload, intermodal, and brokerage businesses, was downgraded due to limited visibility for upside potential in the near term. According to InvestingPro data, seven analysts have recently revised their earnings expectations downward for the upcoming period, though the company maintains strong fundamentals with a healthy current ratio of 1.91.
UBS analyst Thomas Wadewitz cited concerns about the truckload pricing cycle, noting that the firm now expects the anticipated high single-digit pricing gains to materialize in 2027 rather than 2026 as previously forecasted.
Despite acknowledging that Schneider’s dedicated business provides "a degree of resilience," UBS expressed "limited confidence in a strong truckload cycle upturn in 2026," prompting the rating change.
The firm indicated that Schneider is still positioned to benefit "from leverage across multiple business segments" when freight activity eventually rebounds and shipping demand increases.
