- The analyst lowered Union Pacific Corp's (NYSE:UNP) price target to $260 (an upside of 8%) from $270 and maintained a Buy rating on the shares.
- Price Action: SAIA shares are trading higher by 6.38% at $290.15, CSX lower by 1.09% at $33.73, and UNP lower by 2.28% at $240.72 on the last check Monday.
