XPO: Full Speed Ahead On Margin Improvement, But The Stock Might Be Out Of Gas
Summary XPO delivered strong Q4'24 results, with EPS beating estimates and significant LTL margin expansion, despite a slight revenue decline. Full-year 2024 saw XPO achieve 4% revenue growth and a 27% increase in adjusted EBITDA, driven by operational discipline and network investments.

Given the cyclical nature and current valuation, I recommend waiting for a better entry point closer to historical EV/EBITDA multiples around 12.0x.
