Current thesis
The best post-print argument is that Q1 weakness did not force a guidance cut. Management kept full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance at $0.70-$1.00, cited cost and productivity actions, and pointed to structural supply rationalization, rate recovery, and spot-exposure leverage as potential benefits if freight conditions normalize [#PR-2026-04-30].
