NASDAQ: CHRW Nasdaq Air Freight & Logistics Next results ~January 27, 2027

B Fundamentals grade

C.H. Robinson Worldwide is a global logistics provider arranging freight transportation and related supply chain services. It moves goods across multiple modes—truckload, less-than-truckload, ocean, air, intermodal rail and customs brokerage—using its proprietary Navisphere platform and a range of value-added services such as freight consolidation, cross-border logistics, trade compliance, warehousing and managed third- and fourth-party logistics. Under the Robinson Fresh trade name it also sources and markets fresh produce and other perishables.

Its customers span Fortune 100 companies to small businesses across many industries. For most transportation work the company acts as the service provider, contracting with carriers itself and earning the difference between what it charges shippers and what it pays carriers; it also collects fees for managed solutions and buys and sells produce in its sourcing business.

The company reports two segments, North American Surface Transportation and Global Forwarding, with Robinson Fresh and Managed Solutions grouped under All Other and Corporate. It operates across North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, South America and the Middle East. Founded in 1905, it served 75,000 customers and managed roughly 37 million shipments in 2025.

Based on C.H. Robinson's 10-K filed February 13, 2026.

The Fundamentalytics view

C.H. Robinson's trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 10.4% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 2.9%. Where it stands out: revenue growth of 10.4% ranks 5 of 21 air freight & logistics companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$70 per share in the base case (~$49–$98 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow fell 39.4% while net income grew 11.5%: a 51pp divergence.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Highlights

How we pick these

Strengths

  • Growth speeding up. The growth rate is 10.5 points higher than a quarter earlier.
  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 1.1% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.
  • Beating expectations. Earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Things to watch

  • Priced above our value. The share price of $128.71 is 45% above our value per share of $70.
  • Weak cash conversion. Free cash flow was 78% of net income over the last 12 months.
  • Below peers: long-term debt as % of assets. Long-term debt as % of assets of 22.6% ranks 12 of 15 air freight & logistics companies we cover (median 16.8%).

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of C.H. Robinson's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($477M, FY2026 Q3 TTM), growing 8.4% and 5.6% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 5% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$49–~$98 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of C.H. Robinson's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $477M, FY2026 Q3 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value C.H. Robinson as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 9%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.89 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Value per share by model
Model Value per share In the combined value?
Cash-flow model (DCF) Free cash flow to the firm (after stock pay, with after-tax interest added back), grown then faded to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5% as the firm rate, less debt and other claims. ~$70 ~$49–$98 Primary model, counts double
Forward price-to-earnings vs peers Next year's consensus earnings per share times peers' typical (harmonic-mean) forward price-to-earnings. Uses analysts' consensus estimates (third-party data), not our forecasts. ~$98 ~$91–$130 Included
Residual income Book value plus the present value of returns above the cost of equity, fading over ten years. ~$67 ~$52–$90 Included
Justified price-to-book Book value times (return on equity - growth) / (cost of equity - growth): steady-state returns. ~$76 ~$65–$91 Included
Combined value Weighted average of the models that apply: the primary model (cash-flow model (dcf)) counts double. Models more than 5x or less than 0.2x the share price, or more than 3x away from the other models' median, are left out. ~$76 ~$67–$98 4 models

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one. Peer-based models compare C.H. Robinson with Air Freight & Logistics in our coverage, using third-party market data.

Options strategies

All options ideas

How C.H. Robinson’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: rated Sell.

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

Covered call

Not offered: no liquid call at or above our price target — the model says the upside is worth more than any listed strike.

For holders: sell a call at a strike at or above our fair value, so the shares are only sold at a price the model calls full value.

Collar

Not offered: no liquid put and call pair for the same expiry.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.
