NEUTRAL IMPACT
Saia Inc received a Market Perform rating and a $450 price target from BMO Capital Markets, with the analyst praising the company's management and growth potential.
The initiation of coverage by BMO with a Market Perform rating and a price target that is close to the current trading price suggests a neutral short-term impact on SAIA's stock price. The analyst's positive outlook on the company's growth potential and strong management could be offset by the high valuation and muted macro outlook.
