Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. (ISIN US3021301094) closed at USD 190.94 on the Nasdaq on September 18, 2026, only USD 2.96 below its 52-week high of USD 193.90. The logistics provider's latest reported quarter also delivered a sharp earnings comparison, with second-quarter 2026 EPS up 51 percent to USD 2.03.

Second quarter delivered higher earnings

According to Barchart on September 21, 2026, Expeditors reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 3.5 billion, up 32 percent from the year-ago quarter. Net earnings increased 45 percent to USD 266 million, while operating income rose 41 percent to USD 350 million.

The operating figures show why the stock is trading close to its annual peak. Airfreight tonnage grew 14 percent in the second quarter of 2026, and the Customs, Transcon, Distribution and Order Management businesses each recorded double-digit revenue growth for the second consecutive quarter, according to Barchart.

Valuation now meets cautious ratings

The market is pricing in more than the latest earnings acceleration. As Barchart reported on September 21, 2026, the consensus rating was Hold among 17 analysts, while the mean price target stood at USD 183.36. The September 18 closing price was USD 7.58 above that target, a quantified gap that places valuation and execution side by side.

That contrast is the central issue for shareholders: quarterly revenue grew 32 percent and net earnings grew 45 percent in Q2/2026, but the stock price already stood above the cited average target. The same report said technology restructuring is expected to reduce annual costs by approximately USD 50 million, creating a potential operating lever alongside freight demand.

Stock remains below the yearly peak

Expeditors stock had a market capitalization of about USD 24.82 billion as of September 18, 2026. Its Nasdaq reference price of USD 190.94 remained below the USD 193.90 52-week high, while the reported 52-week low was USD 113.13, placing the closing level USD 77.81 above the annual floor.
