The move is getting stronger, with heavier trading behind it.

The Expeditors global logistics business up 55% t12m — Q2 EPS beat by 20%, airfreight strength, at 97% of range.

Expeditors International of Washington is a mid-large-cap ($24B mcap) global logistics and supply-chain management company spanning air freight, ocean freight, and customs brokerage globally — a business up 55% t12m as the freight-cycle recovery plus specific air-freight and customs-brokerage strength combined into a decisive multi-year re-rating at 97% of range.

  • The Q2 print was decisive: EPS of $2.03 vs $1.69 estimate (20.1% beat), revenue of $3.50B vs $2.91B estimate (20% beat, +32% YoY), gross margin at 29.3%, operating margin at 10.0%, and the four-quarter cadence of 1-29% EPS surprises reflects sustained sell-side underestimation of the freight-cycle recovery pace.
  • The financial profile is genuinely differentiated for freight logistics: TTM P/E of 26.3x, ROIC of 33.1%, ROE of 40.7%, gross margin of 7.3% (pass-through mechanics), operating margin of 9.8%, FCF yield of 3.9% — the specific asset-light business model that generates high returns on capital versus asset-heavy trucking peers.
  • The Aug 4 Q2 beat driven by airfreight and customs strength is the specific product-market-fit catalyst — airfreight rates plus customs-brokerage demand reflect the specific pattern where a global-logistics platform benefits from ongoing supply-chain complexity and tariff-driven volume shifts.
  • The FY26 sell-side EPS estimate of $6.90 rising to $7.06 in FY27 reflects modest continued earnings growth from freight-cycle normalization — the current multiple reflects the specific base-building pattern into the compounder-quality returns.

The Nov 3 Q3 print is next — airfreight volume trajectory, customs-brokerage commentary, and FY26 outlook. Continued freight-cycle strength extends the +55% t12m; a soft print at 97% of range invites mean-reversion.

What to watch: The Nov 3 Q3 print — airfreight volume trajectory, customs-brokerage commentary, and specific FY26 outlook.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
26.3How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
33.1%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
9.8%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
3.9%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
2.0Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
40.7%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
7.3%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.3Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
