10:40 AM EDT, 05/07/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We lower our 12-month target by $14 to $94, at 19.2x our 2025 EPS estimate, a discount to CHRW's five-year average forward P/E of 20.6x, justified by our expectations for a period of multiple contraction in the face of mounting macroeconomic headwinds and global trade disruptions. We lower our 2025 EPS view by $0.37 to $4.90 and 2026's by $0.55 to $5.66. CHRW posted Q1 2025 adj. EPS of $1.17 vs. $0.86, 11.3% above consensus, on a sales miss of 4.7%. CHRW's emphasis on higher-margin business and operational efficiency led to a 39.1% increase in income from operations to $176.9M, driven by a 2.3% increase in adj. gross profit to $673.1M and a 6.5% reduction in operating expenses. Improvements in cash flow generation resulted in $106.5M provided by operations, vs. $33.3M used in the prior-year period. While CHRW faces headwinds from market uncertainty due to new tariffs and fluid trade policies, its multi-horizon strategy and disciplined operating model position it well to navigate various market conditions.
