Bank of America slashes price target on trucking company Saia by nearly 50% on heels of its biggest decline ever

Bank of America downgraded shares of Saia to “neutral” from “buy” and slashed its price target by 48% to $251 after the trucking company posted disastrous quarterly results and plummeted more than 30% on Friday, its worst session on record.

“The Less-than-Truckload (LTL) carrier posted 1Q results well below our/ Street’s targets, given a lack of seasonal rebound in March from Feb. (which continued into April), mix pressure (regional carriers gaining share), and cost pressures, as SAIA rapidly expanded its network into a stalled macro backdrop,” analyst Ken Boexter wrote. “Recent macro economic and yield pressure suggests increased price competitiveness in the industry, which likely sustains itself in an industry with 30% excess capacity and a desire to keep networks busy.”

Prior to Saia’s results, Boexter saw upside of more than 35% in the stock. Now, he expects just a modest increase over the coming 12 months.

Kenvue plunges after reports suggest RFK Jr. may try to link prenatal Tylenol use to autism

Kenvue sank 15% Friday after a WSJ report said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may attempt to link prenatal Tylenol use to autism in an upcoming government report.

Kenvue, the maker of Tylenol and formerly a division of Johnson & Johnson prior to a 2023 spin-out, pushed back, saying the science shows “no causal link” between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, and pointed to FDA and medical groups that agree on the drug’s safety.

The FDA itself has found no “clear evidence” of harm but advises pregnant women to consult providers before taking OTC meds.

The report is also expected to float a folate-derived therapy as a potential treatment.

Tylenol is just the latest well-established medication to face scrutiny under Kennedy, who has already stirred controversy by reshaping vaccine policy and amplifying doubts about mRNA shots.

Kenvue shares are now down over 18% year-to-date.

Lucid surges following 6 days of losses after headlines misidentify Cantor Fitzgerald’s lower split-adjusted price target as a good thing

It’s been a shortened week, but still a rough one for Lucid. Investor blowback to the luxury EV maker’s 1-for-10 reverse stock split has sent shares to all time lows this week.

After six straight days of closing lower, Wall Street appears to have decided enough is enough and is loading up on Lucid shares on Friday, sending them up 13% in recent trading. As of 2:10pm eastern, Lucid trading volumes were at more than 240% of their 30 day average.

Some of the move could be attributed to traders reading headlines that don’t take into consideration Lucid’s reverse split. Cantor Fitzgerald on Friday slapped a new price target on Lucid of $20, compared to its previous target of $3. Some news outlets (not us!) presented that as an increase. The problem: With the 1-for-10 reverse split in effect, a comparable price target would have been $30. The new $20 target is actually... a cut.
