What RXO does

Arranges truckload freight shipments for shippers via a technology brokerage platform, without owning trucks.

Charges a shipper a rate to move each load and pays a trucker less, keeping the gap, so profit depends on that spread, which narrows when trucks are plentiful and widens when they are scarce. Some freight is under contract and some priced load by load. Spun off from XPO in 2022, it bought Coyote Logistics from UPS in 2024 to add volume.

What could go right

  • Freight market cyclical recovery/rate increases

What could go wrong

  • Freight rate/volume cyclicality
  • Low barriers to entry in freight brokerage

Moat: narrow (scale, network effects, data). Large carrier network and freight-matching technology, but a highly fragmented, price-competitive brokerage market.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
