Promising Transportation Stocks To Add to Your Watchlist – April 15th

Avis Budget Group, Berkshire Hathaway, and United Airlines are the three Transportation stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Transportation stocks are shares of companies that move people or goods or provide the infrastructure and services that enable those movements — for example, airlines, railroads, shipping lines, trucking firms, parcel carriers, ports and logistics providers. For investors, these stocks are closely tied to freight and passenger demand and are therefore cyclical and sensitive to economic growth, fuel prices, capacity and regulation, often serving as a barometer of broader economic activity. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Transportation stocks within the last several days.
