GXO Logistics: Outsourcing Giant Poised for Growth at a Discount
🚚 GXO is a global leader in contract logistics outsourcing, managing supply chains for major companies like Nike and PepsiCo, benefiting from the trend of externalization.
🤖 Competitive advantages stem from scale, high customer retention (95%), long-term contracts, significant investment in automation and robotics (30% vs 8% sector average), and switching costs, particularly when GXO controls the facility.
📉 Recent share price decline, partly due to CEO departure (retirement), presents an attractive entry point (~11-12x earnings) for a quality company with strong growth prospects (15% EPS growth target) and a rejected takeover offer far above the current price.
