ARCB Shares Jump 4.3% After Stifel Raises Price Target to $96 - Must Be in English

ArcBest (NASDAQ:ARCB) shares rose 4.3% to $90.00 on January 21, 2026, after Stifel lifted its price target to $96 from $85, maintaining a Buy rating. The upgrade follows ArcBest’s strong financial position and a newly secured five-year labor contract that stabilizes cost structure. Stifel cited improving trends in the less-than-truckload (LTL) sector, expecting higher earnings growth and expanding margins ahead. Despite the rally, ARCB remains 10.2% below its 52-week high of $100.25 set in January 2025. The stock has been volatile, with 24 moves exceeding 5% over the past year. The largest recent drop—a 13% decline—occurred 10 months ago amid uncertainty over U.S. tariff policies. Year-to-date, ARCB is up 16.6%. A $1,000 investment five years ago would now be worth $1,850.
