GXO reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $3.4 billion, up 4.3% year over year, with organic revenue growth of 3.4%. Management said all three regions grew organically. Commercial activity was a central positive: new business wins were $410 million, up 34% year over year, and approximately 40% of those wins were in aerospace & defense, technology, industrial and life sciences.
Profitability was mixed across reported measures. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $219 million from $212 million, while adjusted diluted EPS increased to $0.59 from $0.57. In contrast, GAAP net income was $27 million versus $28 million, and GAAP diluted EPS was $0.22 versus $0.23. The provided text does not include gross margin, operating income, adjusted EBITDA margin, or segment profitability, limiting assessment of the underlying margin progression.
Cash generation improved from the prior-year quarter. Cash flow from operations was $76 million compared with $3 million, and free cash flow was $12 million compared with $43 million used. At June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents excluding restricted cash were $769 million, total debt outstanding was $3.2 billion, and net debt was $2.4 billion. The provided text does not report repurchases, dividends, capital expenditures, or debt maturities.
The company guided to full-year 2026 organic revenue growth of 4% to 5%, adjusted EBITDA of $945 million to $965 million, adjusted diluted EPS of $2.95 to $3.15, and free cash flow conversion of 30% to 40%. The adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS ranges were narrowed from the previously stated ranges while retaining their mid-points. GXO also cited approximately $1 billion of incremental 2026 revenue already secured, $353 million of incremental 2027 revenue already secured, and commercial pipeline expansion to approximately $2.7 billion in July as indicators of forward commercial momentum.
Management, verbatim
This quarter marks five years since GXO became an independent public company, and we delivered results that reflect the momentum building across our business, including our strongest new business wins in three years.
Patrick Kelleher, chief executive officer of GXO
With over $1 billion of incremental revenue already secured for 2026 and a commercial pipeline that has expanded from $2.3 billion at the end of the quarter to approximately $2.7 billion in July, we have strong visibility into the balance of the year and are already building momentum into 2027.

AlphaAI analysis generated from the company’s SEC earnings filing (Form 8-K Item 2.02, or Form 6-K for a foreign private issuer). Every figure was cross-checked against the filing text; consensus estimates, price targets and share-price reactions are not shown because they are not in the filing. AI-generated research, not investment advice.
Background
This SEC 8-K includes GXO’s Q2 2026 results (Exhibit 99.1) and an update to full-year 2026 guidance, plus scheduling for an Aug 5 conference call and a Nov 16 Investor Day.
Ticker impact
GXO reported Q2 2026 results and updated full-year guidance, including adjusted EBITDA $945M to $965M and adjusted EPS $2.95 to $3.15.
Moderately positive bias for the next few sessions, with follow-through dependent on investor focus on FCF conversion and net leverage.
The filing discloses multiple decision-relevant datapoints: Q2 operating cash flow and free cash flow, $410M new business wins (+34% YoY), and updated 2026 guidance ranges. It does not include a surprise guidance raise, but it does provide fresh, time-sensitive numbers and pipeline visibility.
Market effects
Contract logistics peers may see read-across interest from GXO’s organic growth, new business wins, and AI/automation execution narrative.
North America commercial momentum is highlighted, which can influence regional sentiment for logistics outsourcing demand.
Limited direct global macro linkage beyond general supply-chain outsourcing and automation themes.
Counterpoint
Despite strong new business wins, free cash flow was lower year over year in Q2, so the market may discount the quality of earnings and focus on cash conversion.
