ArcBest reported fourth-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings of $0.36 per share, falling short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.45 and down sharply from $1.33 per share in the year-ago quarter. Total revenue of $870 million represented a 12% decline year-over-year, driven by lower average shipment weights and muted customer demand in its less-than-truckload segment. Operating income contracted 58% to $35 million, reflecting ongoing pricing pressures and elevated fuel and equipment costs. Management noted that yield per hundredweight decreased by 7%, partially offset by a 4% reduction in transportation and handling expense per unit. With free cash flow of $50 million for the quarter, compared to $85 million in Q4 2024, ArcBest signaled that it will focus on network optimization and targeted pricing initiatives to restore margin performance in 2026.
