$CHRW, one of the world's largest freight brokers, agreed to buy rival RXO for about $5.3B in cash and stock, $5.8B counting RXO's debt. That is about 31% of the buyer's roughly $18.4B market value before the deal. Its stock fell 10.8% on Oct 5. Before $300M a year of hoped-for savings, the price is about 42 times RXO's expected adjusted EBITDA of $137M. Bulls point to C.H. Robinson's own margin gains and little customer overlap. Bears point to new debt, paused buybacks and a $604M jury verdict. Third-quarter results come later this month.

$CHRW Looks like by the downgrade that shares will be much lower tomorrow that I rather buy (DFH)that bought BZH that has book value of $15.75 with 5 insiders buying at $14.80 that the future is better that yeilds mean nothing with Revs. and earning will be much higher when merger complete.

$CHRW wow, what a loser. Got blocked on that comment, pretty sure we were both bulls on this one. Too many little kids on this platform. Oh well, his loss.

$CHRW we’re going back to 150

C.H. Robinson Worldwide faces credit-rating pressure after proposing a $5.3 billion acquisition of freight-broker rival RXO. S&P Global Ratings revised C.H. Robinson’s outlook to negative from stable while affirming its BBB+ issuer rating. The deal, expected to close in the first half of 2027, would be funded with cash, stock and $3.5 billion of new debt. S&P expects the added leverage to temporarily push pro forma FFO-to-debt into the mid-to-high 20% range at closing, well below its 45% downside threshold. C.H. Robinson plans to suspend share buybacks after Q3 2026 and direct projected free cash flow toward debt reduction, targeting roughly $1.6 billion of debt repayment to restore FFO-to-debt to the mid-to-high 40% range by mid-2029. The acquisition depends on generating $300 million in net cost synergies within 24 months. About $170 million is expected from lower-risk operational efficiencies. $CHRW $RXO

$CHRW C.H. Robinson is buying RXO for about 5.8 billion dollars: 17.25 dollars in cash plus 0.0856 CHRW shares per RXO share, a 29 percent premium to Friday's close. The acquirer is taking the pain: CHRW down about 14 percent Monday, the worst performer in the Dow transport index (off 1.5 percent), with J.B. Hunt down 3.4 percent alongside it. There's history here. RXO was spun out of Brad Jacobs' XPO in 2022, and Jacobs built his name rolling up logistics. Now CHRW is buying one of his offspring back while its own stock craters. The company promises 300 million dollars of net cost synergies within two years and says the deal is accretive to adjusted EPS within nine months. The open question is leverage: the cash portion is funded with new debt, and buybacks stay paused until the target ratio is reached, expected by the end of 2028.
