    Question

    Ryder raises 2026 comparable EPS target to $14.85-$15.05 on asset-light expansion

    Direct answer

    Ryder System announced an upward revision to its full-year 2026 comparable earnings forecast, setting target EPS at $14.85 to $15.05. The adjustment reflects ongoing execution of its strategic transition toward asset-light enterprise operations. The company reported that its Supply Chain Solutions and Dedicated Transportation units account for 60% of projected 2026 revenues. This represents a 16 percentage point increase from 44% in 2018, lowering operating volatility linked to transactional commercial truck rental markets. Management highlighted a liquidity buffer consisting of $4.5 billion in available capital, providing balance sheet flexibility while navigating higher fleet replacement and financing expenses.
