YRC Worldwide Stock on a Wild Ride

The Journal of Commerce Online - News Story
Rapid drop below $1 a share reversed in wake of labor agreement

YRC Worldwide’s stock rose 60 cents to $1.49 a share July 9 on news that the financially strapped trucking enterprise reached a tentative agreement on cost cuts with the Teamsters union.

The share value of the largest U.S. industrial trucking company plummeted to 89 cents from $1.24 a share July 8 after a Wall Street analyst said it was unlikely to reach an agreement on concessions with the union and may be forced into bankruptcy.

After the agreement was announced, the stock hit $1.49 by the close on July 9. It fell about 10 cents to $1.39 per share by noon July 10.
