Description: MATX Matson January 11, 2026

Matson, Inc. (NYSE: MATX) is a Hawaii-based carrier that delivers ocean freight and integrated logistics services across the Pacific, focusing on the U.S. non-contiguous markets (Hawaii, Alaska, Guam) and a network of Micronesian islands. The Ocean Transportation segment moves a mix of dry-container, refrigerated, and specialized cargo-including food, automobiles, livestock, and e-commerce goods-while also offering stevedoring, refrigerated handling, and inland transport at key Hawaiian and Alaskan terminals.

The Logistics segment acts as a multimodal broker, providing rail intermodal, truckload, flat-bed, LTL, and expedited freight services, plus warehousing, distribution, and supply-chain management for customers ranging from the U.S. military to retailers and consumer-goods manufacturers. In FY 2023 Matson generated roughly $2.0 billion in revenue, with the logistics arm contributing about 30 % of total sales and delivering an operating margin near 5 %-a modest but stable profitability profile given the capital-intensive nature of maritime operations.

Key economic drivers for Matson include U.S. defense spending (the company is a primary carrier for military shipments to the Pacific), tourism-linked freight demand to Hawaii, and broader container-rate cycles captured by indices such as the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI). Capacity constraints on Pacific routes and rising fuel costs remain material risks, while the company’s long-term terminal concessions and its diversified logistics platform provide a hedge against pure shipping volatility.
