UBS Downgrades C.H. Robinson Worldwide (CHRW) to Sell

UBS analyst Thomas Wadewitz downgraded C.H. Robinson Worldwide (NASDAQ: CHRW) from Neutral to Sell with a price target of $81.00 (from $90.00).

The analyst comments "We downgrade CHRW from Neutral to Sell because our analysis points to a sharper decline in revenue and EPS than is reflected in consensus. The combination of dramatically lower ocean shipping rates and a step down in truckload contract rates drive our new forecast of a 25% decline in 2023 total company gross revenue and a 22% decline in net revenue (or adjusted gross profit). We lower our 2023E EPS from $4.75/share to $4.35, which is 24% below consensus of $5.69. We expect downside EPS to drive pressure on CHRW. The news of a CEO change is not a primary factor, in our view, as it could point to risk but also facilitate change."
