XPO Logistics, Inc. has garnered mixed reviews despite experiencing substantial growth this year, having risen 80%. Analysts highlight that the company's free cash flow yield stands at only 2.5%, which raises concerns regarding its financial health relative to its current valuation. The stock is trading at a high price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 40, indicating that it might be overvalued at present levels. Some experts suggest that while the high PE might prompt selling of shares in the short term, there is recognition of the potential for long-term upside. Overall, investors may want to tread carefully, balancing between current performance metrics and future growth prospects.
It ran into trouble when the roll up stories got into trouble in 2015. They ended up with too much debt. They ended up with fantastic businesses. He got into it early this year. He thought they would stop doing that and let the entity do well without further acquisitions and they did. Its earnings and outlook have improved a lot over the last couple of quarters. He really likes it.
A US logistics company. They will route and ship whatever products for you. This includes where it will be picked up, how it gets transported, and where it is going, as well as handling all the custom forms and way bills that are needed. They also own Conway Trucking which they bought last year in order to do the “last mile”. They’ve reached the inflection where they are starting to generate free cash flow now. Management has guided $500-$800 million of free cash flow in 2018, and that is on a $4 billion market cap company. You are either going to get a 25% upside or it could be a double by 2018.
This handles freight, last mile globally. It has been an acquisition story where it has been gaining the scale to do logistics businesses globally for major companies. This is going to benefit from all the e-commerce trends. It also has very, very strong organic growth for the next few years, despite a really weak overall freight market. Well-managed. Has incredibly strong earnings growth for the next couple of years.
(A Top Pick Aug 17/16. Up 21.05%.) A global freight logistics company. One of those businesses in 2015 that got hit really hard because it had done too many acquisitions with a little bit too much debt into early 2016. Likes that it is a very high, free cash flow business. Trading at about 8.5X EBITDA, and growing in the 20%-25% rate. A fantastic business.
