Landstar System (NASDAQ: LSTR) lifts Q2 EPS 20% and raises dividend
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Landstar System, Inc. reported strong results for the 2026 second quarter, with revenue of $1.432 billion, up 18.2% from the 2025 second quarter, and basic and diluted EPS of $1.44, up 20.0%. Gross profit rose to $132.3 million and variable contribution, a non-GAAP measure defined as revenue less purchased transportation and agent commissions, increased 17% to $199.4 million. Operating income was $66.2 million.
Truck transportation remained the core of the business, generating $1,334 million of second-quarter revenue, 19% above the prior year, as truck revenue per load increased about 17% and loads rose about 2%. Management noted lower DOT accident frequency but higher insurance and claims expense tied to unfavorable development of prior-year claims.
The Board declared a $0.44 per share quarterly dividend, a 10% increase over the regular dividend of the prior five quarters, payable September 9, 2026 to stockholders of record on August 18, 2026. During the 2026 first half, Landstar returned approximately $120 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases and ended June 27, 2026 with about $348 million in cash and short-term investments, a trailing 12‑month return on equity of 16% and return on invested capital of 14%.
Positive
- Second-quarter performance showed broad-based growth, with revenue up 18.2%, EPS up 20.0%, gross profit up 21.1%, and a 10% dividend increase alongside strong cash and return metrics.
Negative
- None.
Filing Explained
The remaining authorization permits up to 1,115,195 purchases, but no additional repurchase is committed or reported for the second quarter.
On
Although the company says it continues returning capital through repurchases and dividends, “up to” 1,115,195 shares is purchase capacity rather than a committed transaction, so it does not establish a further reduction in shares outstanding.
The relevant item to monitor is a later filing or company disclosure reporting purchases under the remaining authorization.

LANDSTAR SYSTEM REPORTS SECOND QUARTER
REVENUE OF $1.432B AND EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $1.44
Jacksonville, FL – Landstar System, Inc. (NASDAQ: LSTR) (“Landstar” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the 2026 second quarter. The Company reported total revenue of $1.432 billion in the 2026 second quarter, an increase of 18% as compared to revenue of $1.211 billion in the 2025 second quarter, and basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.44 in the 2026 second quarter, an increase of 20% as compared to EPS of $1.20 per share in the 2025 second quarter. The Company also reported a 21% increase in gross profit and a 17% increase in variable contribution (defined as revenue less the cost of purchased transportation and commissions to agents) in the 2026 second quarter, as compared in each case to the 2025 second quarter.
“The Landstar team of independent business owners and employees truly shined in a rapidly improving freight transportation backdrop. I was pleased that our network generated both truck volumes and truck revenue per load that outpaced normal seasonal patterns, with variable contribution increasing approximately 17% year-over-year,” said Landstar President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Lonegro. “I was delighted to see our net 68 BCO truck additions during the second quarter, the strongest quarterly improvement since the first quarter of 2022. Although the Company experienced a lower DOT accident frequency during the 2026 first half, increased insurance and claims expense, primarily attributable to unfavorable development of prior years’ claims, had an adverse impact on our second quarter results. The claim environment for freight transportation providers remains challenging, especially with the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent Montgomery decision relating to potential broker liability.”

Forward-Looking Statements Disclaimer The following is a “safe harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements made in this slide presentation that are not based on historical facts are “forward-looking statements.” This presentation may make certain statements containing forward-looking statements, such as statements which relate to Landstar’s business objectives, plans, strategies and expectations. Such statements are by nature subject to uncertainties and risks, including but not limited to: the operational, financial or legal risks or uncertainties detailed in Landstar’s Form 10-K for the 2025 fiscal year, described in the section Risk Factors, and other SEC filings from time to time.

In this slide presentation, the Company provides the following information that may be deemed a non-GAAP financial measure: variable contribution, variable contribution margin and operating income as a percentage of variable contribution. Management believes variable contribution and variable contribution margin are useful measures of the variable costs that we incur at a shipment-by-shipment level attributable to our transportation network of third-party capacity providers and independent agents in order to provide services to our customers. Management believes that operating income as a percentage of variable contribution is a useful measure as: (i) variable costs of revenue for a significant portion of the Company’s business are highly influenced by short-term market-based trends in the freight transportation industry, whereas other costs, including other costs of revenue, are much less impacted by short-term freight market trends; and (ii) this measure is meaningful to investors’ evaluations of the Company’s management of costs attributable to operations other than the purely variable costs associated with purchased transportation and commissions to agents that the Company incurs to provide services to our customers. Management also believes that it is appropriate to present each of the financial measures that may be deemed a non-GAAP financial measure, as referred to above, for the following reasons: (1) disclosure of these matters will allow investors to better understand the underlying trends in the Company’s financial condition and results of operations; (2) this information will facilitate comparisons by investors of the Company’s results as compared to the results of peer companies; and (3) management considers this financial information in its decision making. A tabulation of the expenses identified as costs of revenue as well as a reconciliation of gross profit to variable contribution and gross profit margin to variable contribution margin for the 2026 and 2025 second quarters and year-to-date periods is included in this slide presentation within the Appendix.
