Here's Why Trinity Industries Inc's Stock Is Surging Today

Shares of Trinity Industries (NYSE: TRN) spiked on Monday morning and were up more than 10% at 10:45 a.m. EDT. Driving the gains was the reversal of a $682.4 million fraud judgment against the company; analysts saw the ruling as a huge positive.

Trinity Industries announced that a U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that it didn't commit fraud and sell defective guardrails to the U.S. government. That ruling reversed a Federal District Court's $682.4 million judgment against the company after the panel found that the federal government consistently reaffirmed that Trinity's ET Plus System met all federal safety performance standards.
