CHRW Breaks Out: Is This the Start of a Transport Sector Comeback?

by SIACharts.com

C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc. (CHRW) shares have been steadily climbing within the SIA S&P 500 Index Report, recently entering the Favored Zone as of late July 2025, as illustrated in the matrix position chart (Attachment 1). This upward momentum is in stark contrast to the broader transportation sector, where many peers remain unfavored at both the stock and sector levels, according to the SIA Sector and Index Reports. This relative outperformance might potentially be tied to C.H. Robinson’s deepening role as a global logistics leader, driven by its proprietary fourth-party logistics (4PL) platform. Through a combination of real-time visibility, predictive analytics, and global control tower operations, the company integrates technology, data, and expertise to manage entire transportation ecosystems, delivering end-to-end supply chain optimization at global scale. From a technical perspective, the next attachment is a comparative chart of CHRW vs. the S&P 500 Index and shows a notable breakout from a multi-year downtrend (see circle), signaling renewed investor confidence. Further supporting this is CHRW’s Comparison-SMAX score of 9 out of 10, underscoring strong relative strength against the broad collection of S&P constituents.

Turning to the Point & Figure (P&F) chart, we see a constructive breakout above the prior multi-year resistance channel, with a key breakout level at $114.48, which now serves as initial support based on the 3-box reversal method. Additional support lies in the $112.24–$103.69 range, reflecting multiple historical resistance levels that now act as support. A potentially critical multi-level support exists at $101.66 and is highlighted with the green line, which aligns closely with the psychologically significant $100 level. Upside targets have been calculated based on both vertical and horizontal P&F count methods, both pointing to resistance around $139.55. With current prices sitting mid-range between support and resistance, risk/reward remains balanced, but any pullback closer to the support zone could improve the entry profile for long-side exposure. Given the continued strength of CHRW’s SMAX score (9/10) and relative price action, it’s notable to see a transportation stock leading within the SIA framework. This raises an important question: Are we witnessing the early stages of a transportation sector recovery, or is C.H. Robinson an outlier, benefiting from a distinct competitive advantage as a 4PL operator that sits in the catbird seat of today’s high-tech, tariff-sensitive shipping economy?
