Guidance from management

Management maintained their medium-term guidance, projecting a 4% to 6% revenue growth for the upcoming 7-month period ending December 31, 2026, with expectations of reaching breakeven in average daily volume by that time.

The other piece to that is we weren't very frequent in our updates in regards to taking the cost information we have and flowing it through the pricing models for 3PLs.

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns regarding the lack of margin expansion despite revenue growth expectations, particularly due to the impact of variable compensation agreements. Additionally, there were questions about potential geopolitical risks and their effects on operational performance moving forward.
