Earnings Preview: What to Expect From Expeditors International‘s Report

Seattle, Washington-based Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. (EXPD) is a leading global logistics company that provides freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and supply chain management services. With a market cap of $25.5 billion, the company helps businesses transport goods worldwide through air, ocean, and ground transportation, along with offering warehousing and distribution, cargo insurance, order management, and trade compliance solutions. 

The logistics giant is set to announce its third-quarter results before the market opens on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Ahead of the event, analysts expect EXPD to deliver an adjusted profit of $2.24 per share, up 36.6% from $1.64 per share reported in the year-ago quarter. Moreover, the company has a solid earnings surprise history. It has surpassed the Street’s bottom-line estimates in each of the past four quarters.

For fiscal 2026, EXPD is expected to report an adjusted EPS of $7.77, up 30.6% from $5.95 reported in 2025. 

EXPD stock prices have observed a 64.1% rise over the past 52 weeks, notably outperforming the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 15.4% surge and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLI) 9.9% gains during the same time frame.

EXPD’s solid momentum over the past year reflects strong 2026 earnings growth, rising demand for air freight and logistics services tied to AI infrastructure investments, and continued expansion in customs brokerage and warehousing. The company’s share repurchases and improving profitability have further supported investor sentiment. 

Analysts remain cautious about the stock’s prospects. EXPD maintains a consensus “Hold” rating overall. Of the 18 analysts covering the stock, opinions include three “Moderate Buys,” 11 “Holds,” and four “Strong Sells.” The stock currently trades above the mean price target of $186.67, while the Street-high target of $222 implies an upswing potential of 12.8% from the current market price.
