The brief

RXO operates as a freight broker, matching companies that need to ship goods with available truck capacity, without owning the trucks themselves. They also provide managed transportation services, last-mile delivery for final customer destinations, and freight forwarding including ocean and air shipping coordination. The company earns profit by charging a markup between what shippers pay and what carriers receive, benefiting when they can negotiate favorable spreads in tight capacity markets.

RXO Inc. is a truck brokerage and transportation solutions company operating primarily in North America, connecting shippers with trucking capacity through an asset-light model [Yahoo Finance]. Founded in 2022 as a spinoff, RXO reported $5.7 billion in revenue with 6,906 employees, but currently operates at a net loss with high debt levels [Yahoo Finance]. Recent news shows truckload spot rates jumping 16.5% year-over-year in Q1 2026, a four-year high that directly benefits RXO's brokerage business [Yahoo Finance].

RXO is unprofitable with significant leverage, though revenue is growing rapidly in a recovering freight market.
