Q3 2025 results on Oct 30 showed revenue of $2.11B, adjusted diluted EPS of $1.07, and adjusted EBITDA of $342M, with the stock rising 8.99%.

GREENWICH, Conn., Jan. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XPO (NYSE: XPO), a leading provider of freight transportation in North America, today announced that it has renewed its support for TAT (Truckers Against Trafficking), a nonprofit dedicated to educating and empowering the transportation industry to combat human trafficking. XPO will serve as a platinum partner of TAT for the sixth consecutive year.
Mario Harik, chairman and chief executive officer of XPO, said, “At XPO, we’re proud to support efforts that make our communities safer.
