10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec 31, 2025
Filed Feb 13, 2026 · Read the filing on EDGAR
- Revenue fell 8.4% to $16.2 billion, mainly from selling the European trucking business and lower ocean freight prices and volumes.
- Operating income rose 18.8% and net income rose 26.1% to $587.1 million, driven by lower costs and an 11.5% smaller average workforce.
- Operating cash flow jumped 79.6% to $914.5 million, funding resumed buybacks of $354.7 million, dividends and $289 million of debt repayment.
- North American trucking profit rose 17.0%, while Global Forwarding profit fell 13.5% as ocean rates dropped from elevated 2024 levels.
Business momentum
Mixed
“Total revenues decreased 8.4 percent to $16.2 billion, primarily driven by the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business”
Outlook
Cautious
“Despite this uncertainty, we expect ocean pricing to remain under pressure until global freight demand meaningfully improves.”
Financial stress
Low
“Despite the increase in cash returned to shareholders our strong cash flow from operations allowed us to reduce our outstanding borrowings on debt.”
Tone against the previous report
More positive
Red flags
None found in this report.
Positives
Profit grew strongly on lower costs and wider margins
“Net income totaled $587.1 million, up 26.1 percent from a year ago.”
North American trucking earned more per shipment through better pricing tools
“NAST adjusted gross profits increased driven by higher adjusted gross profits per transaction in both truckload and LTL services.”
Operating cash flow rebounded sharply
“Cash flows from operating activities increased significantly in 2025, reflecting our strong operating performance and higher net income versus the prior year.”
Concerns
Global Forwarding shrinking as ocean and air volumes fell
“Our total ocean freight volumes decreased 4.5 percent while our air freight tonnage decreased 11.5 percent in 2025 compared to the prior year.”
Profit growth came from cost cuts, while gross profit declined
“Income from operations totaled $795.0 million, up 18.8 percent from last year, due to the decrease in operating expenses.”
Freight demand remains soft with excess capacity
“soft demand conditions and remaining excess capacity continue to temper the pace of the shift”
New risks since the previous report
US tariffs and trade policy changes disrupting global freight volumes
“The tariffs impacted our Global Forwarding business in 2025, most significantly in the second quarter of 2025, with volatile market conditions causing global demand fluctuations and lower volumes.”
Falling behind competitors on AI and automation
“If we fail to maintain the pace, scale, or quality of automation and AI adoption, we may be unable to achieve our strategic goals for operational efficiency and digital transformation.”
Legal, regulatory and security risks from using AI
“the use or offering of AI technologies may result in new or expanded risks and liabilities, including enhanced government or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, privacy and compliance issues”
Driver rule enforcement and carrier exits tightening trucking capacity and raising rates
“This gradual tightening, coupled with disruptive weather events and incremental pressures from the enforcement of commercial driver regulations, contributed to upward pressure on transportation rates.”
Biggest risks named
- Recession and weak freight demand
- Tariffs and shifting trade policy
- Competition and falling behind on AI and automation
- Higher carrier prices squeezing margins on contracted rates
- Cyberattacks and technology failures

How these scores work
An AI model reads the management discussion, risk factors and legal sections of each report and records what they say, quoting the filing word for word. Fixed rules then turn those findings into a score from 0 to 100, where 60 means nothing notable either way. A score describes the report, not whether the stock is a good investment, and the AI may know how things turned out later, which can colour older scores. Read the methodology
