Truist analyst Lucas Servera lowered the firm’s price target on Expeditors (EXPD) to $105 from $110 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares as part of a broader research note on Transportation & Logistics.

Unlike during economic downturns, the overall industry tonnage index remained relatively stable through 2024 and into 2025, supported by continued growth in U.S. GDP, retail sales, and e-commerce volumes, but while demand for goods movement persisted, pricing across the truckload market came under significant pressure, the firm adds.
