Description: ARCB ArcBest February 27, 2026
ArcBest Corporation (NASDAQ: ARCB) is an integrated logistics provider that delivers ground, air, and ocean transportation services worldwide through two operating segments: Asset-Based and Asset-Light.
The Asset-Based segment focuses on less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments of a broad range of commodities-including food, apparel, chemicals, and automotive parts-and extends motor-carrier freight into Mexico via partner trucking firms.
The Asset-Light segment offers a suite of brokerage-driven solutions such as expedited ground moves, temperature-controlled and intermodal ocean freight, warehousing, managed transportation, and consumer “do-it-yourself” moving services, plus premium logistics for specialized equipment and international air, ocean, and ground freight.
Recent performance highlights show ARCB generating $1.2 billion in revenue for Q4 2025, a 5 % year-over-year increase, with adjusted EBITDA of $250 million (≈21 % margin) and a 3 % rise in LTL volume driven by sustained e-commerce demand.
Key sector drivers include a continued surge in e-commerce freight volumes, persistent driver-shortage pressures that favor asset-light brokerage models, and volatile fuel costs that incentivize customers to seek cost-effective, multimodal solutions.
