RXO

At the Chicago Industrials Summit, RXO reported adjusted EBITDA rising from $6m in Q1 to $40m in Q2, with a Q3 forecast also around $40m. The brokerage business outperformed the market (truck volume +2% vs. market -3%), the spot share was about 50% in July and drove margins through repricing to nearly 20%. Management sees a structural capacity reduction of up to 25% as a driver for a multi-year recovery, highlights technology and Coyote synergies, and expects last‑mile weaknesses to pressure Q3 by $3–5m. RXO is targeting an improvement in leverage (Q2: 4.1x net debt) toward ~3.0x by year-end and stronger free cash flow generation. » Altro su de.investing.com
