Tuesday, April 16, 9:51 AM Greenbrier (GBX +2.3%) rises after getting its second upgrade in as many days as Sterne Agee takes the stock to Buy with a $28 price target. This comes on the heels of Longbow's Buy from Neutral call yesterday. The company has enjoyed quite a bit of upbeat sell-side coverage of late as BofA and Keybanc both upgraded the shares recently. Comment! [On the Move]
Monday, April 15, 10:13 AM Greenbrier (GBX +0.5%) rises despite a weak tape after Longbow upgrades the shares to Buy from Neutral with a $29 price target. Separately, the company reminds holders of its 2.375% senior notes due 2026 that they can exercise an option to require GBX to repurchase the paper at par on May 15. Comment!
Thursday, April 4, 11:57 AM Greenbrier (GBX -5.64%) slips today on a mixed FQ2 report, beating on a per share basis but coming up short on revenue. Net earnings fell 22% Y/Y for the railroad equipment and services provider, as new railcar deliveries continued to decline. Sales in the company's manufacturing segment dropped 8% to $294M, while its wheel services, refurbishment & parts segment declined over 6% to $112M. Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]
Thursday, April 4, 6:03 AM Greenbrier Companies (GBX): FQ2 EPS of $0.45 beats by $0.08. Revenue of $423.2M misses by $19.19M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]

Comment! [On the Move]
Thursday, January 3, 12:39 PM Warren Buffett and Carl Icahn are reaping the benefits of surging demand for railroad tank cars to haul shale oil from beyond the reach of existing pipelines, as rail shipping has become the method of choice at new production sites because obtaining permits and rights-of-way can slow pipeline construction and make it more costly. 3 Comments [Energy]
