Raymond James raised the firm’s price target on J.B. Hunt (JBHT) to $175 from $165 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. Transport stocks steadied in 3Q25 as tariff volatility eased and rates held within a 15%-20% range, though freight volumes dipped after earlier pull-forwards, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
