ArcBest shares fall over 2% as Q1 earnings miss estimates

FORT SMITH, Ark. - ArcBest Corporation (NASDAQ:ARCB) reported first quarter 2025 earnings that fell short of analyst expectations on Tuesday.

The company’s shares were down -2.52% in premarket trading following the earnings release.

The logistics company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.51, missing the consensus estimate of $0.52. Revenue came in at $967.1 million, below Wall Street’s forecast of $989.28 million and down 6.7% YoY from $1.04 billion.

ArcBest’s Asset-Based segment, which includes less-than-truckload operations, saw revenue decline 3.8% YoY to $646.3 million. The company cited "prolonged manufacturing sector weakness" as negatively impacting shipment weights and profitability.

"Customers need trusted partners to help them navigate the ever-changing environment, and I’m proud of our employees for working hand-in-hand with customers to develop solutions, solve challenges and build trust," said ArcBest Chairman and CEO Judy R. McReynolds.

The Asset-Light segment, which includes truckload brokerage and other logistics services, reported revenue of $356.0 million, down 10.2% YoY. ArcBest said the segment benefited from improved margins and productivity, but continued to face headwinds from excess truckload capacity.

The company returned over $24 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends during the quarter.
