-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
XPO reported Q1 EPS of $1.01 vs. $0.73 a year ago, beating consensus by $0.13, while revenue of $2.1B grew 7% and beat estimates by $60M. Adjusted EBITDA surged 15% to $319M, demonstrating accelerating momentum across the business. We believe the combination of margin expansion, positive volume inflection, and strong cash generation supports XPO's trajectory toward accelerating free cash flow generation. North American LTL performance was solid, with adjusted operating ratio improving 200 bps to 83.9% and 20% growth in adjusted operating income. Critically, tonnage per day turned positive at +0.1% vs. Q4 2025's -4.5% decline, marking an inflection point and suggesting early demand stabilization signs. Yield growth excluding fuel remained robust at 4.0%, supported by service improvements and AI-driven network optimization, while cash from operations grew 29% to $183M. In our view, XPO's insourcing strategy and operational leverage position the company well for continued margin expansion and cash flow growth.
