Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 31. Momentum is soft: below the neutral 50 line, but not yet oversold.
MACD is below its signal line, so short-term momentum is pointing down.
The price is below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the classic picture of a downtrend.
Volume is only 0.5x its 20-day average; light trading makes the latest move less convincing.
Trend structure and money flow
Market structure shows a bearish change of character (CHoCH): the first break against the prevailing trend, an early hint of a possible reversal.
The most recent swing high is $209.43 and the swing low is $149.24; traders often treat these as resistance and support.
Fundamentals
The PEG ratio is 1.52, which looks reasonably priced for its growth.
The company reports a profit margin of 3.7% and revenue growth of +29.5%.
In its latest quarter it earned $1.80 per share, which beat the $1.75 analysts expected.
Wall Street's average rating is 1.6 on a 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell) scale, roughly a "buy", with an average price target of $183.74.
The next earnings report is expected around Jan 27, 2027; prices often move sharply around earnings.
Trade plan from the model
The model's short / bearish plan uses an entry near $126.50, a target of $115.75 (-8.5%) and a stop-loss at $137.25 (+8.5%).
That is a reward-to-risk ratio of about 1.0 to 1: the potential gain is not much bigger than the loss, so the setup is marginal.
The plan has a time limit: reassess by Nov 8, 2026 whatever the price does.

Research notes
CHRW’s bull case is supported by strong Q3 2026 execution: revenue rose 29.5% year over year to $5.36 billion, while adjusted EPS increased 28.6% to $1.80 and exceeded estimates. The bear case is that operating cash flow fell to $124.1 million from $275.4 million because of working-capital pressure from higher transportation rates, while investors remain concerned about rising costs, acquisition risk, and the freight outlook. The major recent catalyst was the October 28 earnings beat, but shares fell sharply—about 9.6% in premarket trading—despite the strong results. With the stock down roughly 17% from the prior $126.57 view’s reference point, the price action does not agree with the earlier positive stance, even though operating fundamentals remain bullish.
