RENTON, Wash. - Radiant Logistics, Inc. (NYSE American: RLGT), a prominent third-party logistics firm with a market capitalization of $281 million and annual revenue exceeding $858 million, has announced the acquisition of Texas-based Universal Logistics, Inc., which has been operating under Radiant’s Airgroup brand since 2001. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company currently trades below its Fair Value, suggesting potential upside opportunity. Universal Logistics specializes in time-sensitive air and ocean freight for the oilfield services and HVAC industries.

Radiant’s CEO, Bohn Crain, cited the acquisition as an example of Radiant’s strategy to partner with logistics entrepreneurs, providing them an exit strategy while expanding Radiant’s network. The company’s financial health is rated as FAIR by InvestingPro, with analysts setting price targets between $9 and $10, reflecting confidence in the company’s growth strategy. This acquisition follows Radiant’s previous expansions, including the acquisition of Viking Logistics in April 2024 and Foundation Logistics and Services in September 2024.

Radiant Logistics, operating through an extensive network of offices in North America and globally, offers a range of services including domestic and international freight forwarding, truck and rail brokerage, warehouse and distribution, customs brokerage, order fulfillment, inventory management, and technology services.
