Ryder raises 2026 EPS outlook as asset-light mix expands
The quarter supports a constructive but conditional view: Ryder paired resilient earnings with a higher 2026 EPS outlook, while the shift toward asset-light supply chain and dedicated businesses and ongoing efficiency initiatives provide support. The case remains dependent on freight conditions, used-vehicle markets, regulatory developments, and execution.

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.
Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
