Rxo Drops 6.4% Amid Sector

Rxo, Inc. shares fell 6.4% to $21.09 on Monday amid a broad selloff in the trucking sector, with peers like KNX, SAIA, LSTR, SNDR, and ARCB also declining. The downturn appears sector-wide, driven by concerns over freight demand or macroeconomic factors, rather than company-specific issues.
