XPO says it’s ‘not sacrificing price to buy volume’

Less-than-truckload carrier XPO said it isn’t sacrificing yield to win market share on a Thursday call with analysts.

The company reported a 1% year-over-year (y/y) increase in tonnage during the fourth quarter compared to LTL peers that saw volumes decline by mid- to high-single digits.

Acuerdos transformadores en el transporte por carretera durante 2022 

El flujo de operaciones en el sector del transporte y la logística se ralentizó notablemente en 2022 con el enfriamiento de la economía. Los inversionistas se han vuelto más reacios al riesgo, minimizando la exposición a empresas con historiales menos probados, a medida que los tipos de interés se han disparado y los mercados de crédito se han endurecido. 

Hasta noviembre, el valor de las transacciones en el sector ascendió a 52 billones de dólares en 380 operaciones, frente a 600 operaciones...

Durante los dos últimos años, XPO (NYSE: XPO) ha estado en proceso de desmantelar el gigante del transporte y la logística en el que se había convertido a través de múltiples adquisiciones en la última década. Sin embargo, la pieza final -la venta de su unidad de transporte europea- se retiró a principios de este mes debido al “debilitamiento de los mercados de capitales en Europa”.

XPO sees multiple paths to grow LTL earnings

For the last two years, XPO (NYSE: XPO) has been in the process of breaking up the transportation and logistics behemoth it had become via multiple acquisitions over the last decade. However, the final piece — the sale of its European Transportation unit — was pulled earlier this month due to “weakened capital markets in Europe.”
