Why Shares of XPO Logistics Are Higher Today
Shares of XPO Logistics (NYSE: XPO) briefly spiked 10% on Thursday after the transportation and logistics company surprised markets with a midday earnings release.
XPO was expected to release earnings after markets closed on Thursday, but trading in the stock was halted around 1:20 p.m. EST, and the company's third-quarter report came out about 10 minutes later.
The circumstances were odd, but it's hard to argue with the results. XPO reported third-quarter adjusted earnings of $0.84 per share on revenue of $4.22 billion, easily surpassing consensus expectations of $0.40 per share on $3.85 billion in revenue.
