Ryder raises 2026 outlook as asset-light growth gains traction

The quarter supports a constructive view of Ryder's earnings trajectory: contractual revenue, asset-light expansion, utilization and used-vehicle pricing are supporting growth, while AI and automation are positioned as longer-term efficiency initiatives. The main test is whether management can sustain margins and fleet growth amid labor, regulatory and freight-demand risks.
