Description: MATX Matson November 08, 2025

Matson, Inc. (NYSE: MATX) operates two core businesses: an Ocean Transportation segment that moves dry-container, refrigerated, and specialized cargo to Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, Micronesia and select Pacific destinations, and a Logistics segment that offers multimodal brokerage, warehousing, and supply-chain services to U.S. military, retailers, and manufacturers. The company’s historic roots date back to 1882 and it rebranded from Alexander & Baldwin Holdings in 2012, with headquarters in Honolulu.

As of FY 2023, Matson generated $2.9 billion in revenue, with the Ocean Transportation segment contributing roughly 70 % and delivering an adjusted operating margin of 12 %-above the industry median of ~8 % for regional carriers. Key growth drivers include rising U.S. military logistics spend (the Pentagon accounts for ~15 % of total shipments), sustained tourism demand to Hawaii, and accelerating e-commerce shipments to island markets, which together have lifted container volumes by an estimated 4 % YoY. A sector-wide factor to watch is the Baltic Dry Index, which has been volatile but generally supportive of freight rates for the Pacific trade lane.
