Seattle, Washington-based Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. (EXPD) is a Fortune 500, asset-light logistics powerhouse based near Seattle. With a market cap of $15.5 billion, it offers air/ocean freight, customs brokerage, warehousing, and supply‑chain consulting through 340+ offices across 100+ countries.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks,” and Expeditors fits right into that category, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, reflecting its substantial size and influence in the logistics industry.
Its global footprint, spanning over 100 countries, enables seamless end-to-end logistics solutions across diverse markets. The company’s strong relationships with carriers, combined with its ability to consolidate freight and negotiate volume-based rates, give it a pricing advantage.
Despote its strengths, Expeditors’ shares have fallen 14.1% from their 52-week high of $131.59 recorded on Sept. 30, 2024. EXPD has declined 3.5% over the past three months, lagging the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 5.4% uptick during the same time frame.
EXPD stock has plunged 9.2% over the past 52 weeks, compared to $SPX’s 9% rise. However, in 2025, EXPD has soared 2.1%, surpassing $SPX’s 1.7% rise.
While EXPD has been mostly trading under its 200-day moving average since early December, it has edged above the 50-day moving average since early May.
On May 6, EXPD shares plunged 5% after releasing its Q1 earnings. Its revenue rose 21% year-over-year to $2.7 billion, and net income increased 20% to $204 million. Earnings per share came in at $1.47, exceeding expectations, while operating income grew 24% to $266 million. The company saw solid volume growth across both air (up 9%) and ocean freight (up 8%), alongside gains in customs and warehousing services.
Expeditors has also outperformed its peer J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc.’s (JBHT) 18.6% drop in 2025 and 10.7% decline over the past year.
However, analysts remain bearish about the stock’s prospects. EXPD has a consensus “Moderate Sell” rating among the 15 analysts covering the stock. The stock currently trades above its mean price target of $108.43.
