UBS maintains a 'Buy' on C.H. Robinson Worldwide (NASDAQ: CHRW) price target lowered from $95 to $88.

UBS analyst says, "C.H. telegraphed a soft Q4 on its Q3 call and—despite hopes to the contrary—that’s exactly what transpired, with a one-penny headline miss somewhat generous given a lower than normal tax rate and a little “other” income adding a couple of pennies. Gross revenue growth of 10.4% was light vs. +13% consensus; however, the consolidated net revenue margin of 15.6% was 10bps better than our forecast. Poor SG&A cost control limited EPS growth to just 7% over Q4/10 results."
