  • XPO Stock Surges 40% Amid Manufacturing Rebound and Strong Q4 Results
    February 6, 2026, 1:31 AM EST. XPO Logistics, a leading less-than-truckload carrier, has gained nearly 40% year-to-date, driven by a recent manufacturing rebound and robust Q4 performance. The company posted a 5% revenue increase to $2.01 billion, surpassing estimates, and improved margins through better service metrics and reduced outsourced linehaul miles. Strong manufacturing data from the Institute of Supply Management, showing expansion for the first time in over two years, boosted investor confidence. Approximately two-thirds of XPO's shipments involve industrial goods, making it sensitive to manufacturing trends. With volumes currently flat despite winter storms and potential capacity constraints in the LTL industry following Yellow bankruptcy, XPO could see further price and profit gains if industrial demand normalizes, according to Chief Strategy Officer Ali Faghri.
