On August 21, 2025, CH Robinson Worldwide (CHRW) closed with a 1.42% increase, trading at $121.08 with a daily volume of 0.18 billion, ranking 482nd in market activity. The stock’s short-term technical indicators show a mixed signal, with the 52-week high reached at $123.14 and a projected 3-month target range of $132.84–$158.49. Analysts have upgraded CHRW to a "Buy" candidate, citing improved momentum and a bullish long-term moving average crossover.

Recent institutional activity highlights shifting ownership dynamics. The State of Michigan Retirement System and Tokio Marine Asset Management Co. Ltd. slightly increased stakes, while insider sales by Michael Short and Angela K. Freeman reduced their holdings by 9.53% and 8.00%, respectively. Institutional investors collectively own 93.15% of the stock. Analyst price targets remain varied, with a consensus of $116.33 and a "Moderate Buy" rating, though recent upgrades from JPMorgan and Citigroup suggest growing confidence.

Technical volatility remains elevated, with a 2.29% intraday swing and a 1.78% average daily movement over the past week. A stop-loss level at $116.82 is recommended to mitigate risk. The stock is set to enter the ex-dividend period on September 5, offering a $0.62 dividend (2.0% yield), though its payout ratio of 56.49% reflects moderate distribution discipline. Short-term traders are advised to monitor the $121.52 resistance level before committing to positions.

The strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day from 2022 to now delivered a 1.98% average daily return, with a total return of 7.61% over 365 days. The Sharpe ratio of 0.94 indicates favorable risk-adjusted returns, though a maximum drawdown of -29.16% underscores exposure to market downturns.
