Expeditors stock (ISIN US3021301094) was trading at USD 187.60 on the NYSE on September 28, 2026, at 10:38 a.m. ET, up 0.07 percent from the prior close of USD 187.46. The latest market picture still reflects the companys strong second-quarter operating performance and a valuation debate around the shares.

MarketScreener reported on September 16, 2026, that Blake Bell will move to Senior Vice President of Professional Services effective October 1, 2026. The change gives the company a concrete management milestone while investors continue to assess the earnings momentum.

Q2 revenue reached USD 3.5 billion

StockTitan reported that Expeditors generated USD 3.5 billion of revenue in Q2 2026, up 32 percent from the same quarter of 2025. Operating income rose 41 percent to USD 350 million, while diluted EPS increased 51 percent to USD 2.03.

The earnings comparison was also clear: Q2 diluted EPS exceeded the USD 1.69 consensus by USD 0.34. Airfreight tonnage increased 14 percent, while ocean container volume was flat, leaving air cargo and customs-related services as the more visible growth contributors.

Consensus target sits below the stock

According to MarketBeat on September 11, 2026, the consensus rating was Hold and the average 12-month price target was USD 168.78. That target was USD 18.82 below the September 28 trading price, a gap of 10.04 percent, showing that recent earnings strength has not produced a uniformly bullish valuation view.

The same MarketBeat report listed 13 brokerages in the consensus, including three Sell ratings, six Hold ratings, two Buy ratings and two Strong Buy ratings. The spread matters because the stock is trading above the average target even after its second-quarter earnings beat.

Q3 results are listed for November 2

MarketScreener lists November 2, 2026, for the Q3 2026 earnings release. That date places the next formal test of the airfreight trend, customs demand and operating leverage after a quarter in which revenue and earnings both grew at double-digit rates.

Stock stays below the yearly high

Expeditors stock was trading at USD 187.60 on the NYSE on September 28, 2026, with a 52-week range of USD 112.95 to USD 194.59 and a market capitalization of USD 24.5 billion. Volume stood at 75,426 shares at 10:38 a.m. ET, keeping the stock 3.59 percent below its 52-week high.
