AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I look for businesses that earn high returns on capital and sell at a sensible price. C.H. Robinson is an asset-light freight broker with a $16.4B market cap at the 2026-10-26 close. FairStock's calculations show a 37.12% ROE, but ROCE is only 9.96%, and the balance sheet carries D/E of 1.21, so the high equity return is helped by leverage and thin brokerage margins. In fiscal Q2 2026 (the quarter ended 2026-06-30), revenue was $4.9B, net income $186.8M, and diluted EPS $1.56; that is better than fiscal Q2 2025 (the quarter ended 2025-06-30) at $4.1B, $152.5M, and $1.26. For FY2025 (the year ended 2025-12-31) revenue was $16.2B, net income $587.1M, and EPS $4.83 versus FY2024 (the year ended 2024-12-31) revenue $17.7B, net income $465.7M, and EPS $3.86. Profits are improving, but long-term growth is slow; FairStock labels it a SLOW GROWER, with 3.0% profit growth and 0.0% revenue growth over five years. The company generates $807.1M trailing FCF, a 4.9% FCF yield. Yet at $140.15 the FairStock P/E is 26.70, P/B 10.08, PEG 3.05, EV/EBITDA 20.07, and Graham Number $41.27, implying a -242.06% margin of safety. Piotroski 5/9 and Altman 5.58 suggest fair, not fortress, financial signals. Scale and network matter, but a 9.96% ROCE does not look like a wide competitive advantage. I see a decent business priced for more than it has historically delivered.

In plain English: C.H. Robinson arranges freight shipments for other companies, mostly trucking and global logistics. It earns a profit and produces cash, but sales have been roughly flat over recent years, and the stock price looks high compared with the company's profits and accounting value. The business looks decent, but the price does not look cheap.
