Ken Hoexter has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including XPO’s ability to outperform sub-seasonal industry volumes by focusing on small- to medium-sized customers, which typically yield higher returns. Despite a slight decline in tonnage, XPO has shown resilience by improving its shipment growth and maintaining strong revenue targets. The company has also demonstrated effective cost management and yield expansion, which are crucial in the current muted freight environment.
Moreover, XPO’s operating ratio targets for the third quarter and the full year indicate a better performance than typical seasonal trends, showcasing the company’s operational efficiency. Hoexter believes that XPO’s market share improvements, enhanced service levels, and profitability metrics justify a premium valuation, leading to a reiterated Buy rating with a price objective of $141. This confidence is further supported by XPO’s strategic positioning and growth prospects in the transport sector.
