Ariel Global Fund Ariel Investments, LLC | “We added FedEx Freight Holding Co., Ltd. following its spinoff from our existing holding, FedEx Corporation (FDX). As a standalone company, FedEx Freight is the leading pure-play less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier in North America, benefiting from unmatched scale, network density and a strong competitive position. We believe the separation from FedEx unlocks upside, as non-union LTL peers have historically commanded materially higher multiples. As a standalone business, FedEx Freight can sharpen its commercial strategy, improve pricing discipline and target a higher-quality freight mix. Margin expansion can also result from yield improvements, volume growth and cost efficiencies. Importantly, the broader LTL backdrop is improving, supported by a recovery in U.S. industrial activity and favorable supply dynamics. Overall, we view the company as a high-quality franchise with structural advantages and multiple levers that can create value.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 30, 2026 | View Pitch |
