Expeditors International of Washington (ISIN US3021301094) was trading at EUR 171.80 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 10:10 a.m. CEST, up 0.44 percent from the prior close of EUR 171.05. On October 2, 2026, UBS analyst Thomas Wadewitz raised the price target from USD 210.00 to USD 220.00 and maintained a Buy rating, as Markets Insider reported.
UBS target moves to USD 220
The UBS change gives investors a fresh benchmark after a sharp improvement in Expeditors' second-quarter operating figures. The new target is USD 48.20 above the Lang & Schwarz price in nominal terms, but the currencies differ, so that comparison is not converted into a percentage.
MarketBeat also reported on October 2, 2026 that UBS kept its Buy rating while the broader analyst consensus remained Hold, with an average target of USD 174.00. That split matters because the higher UBS target sits above the consensus figure, while the consensus itself remains below the new UBS view.
Quarterly growth sets the backdrop
Expeditors reported USD 3.50 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 32.10 percent from the second quarter of 2025. Diluted earnings per share rose to USD 2.03 from USD 1.35, a 50.37 percent increase, and net income attributable to common shareholders reached USD 266.2 million.
The earnings comparison was also favorable against expectations. According to MarketBeat on October 2, 2026, second-quarter diluted earnings per share of USD 2.03 exceeded the USD 1.69 consensus by USD 0.34. The result supports the focus on airfreight rates and activity described in the UBS note, although freight pricing remains a key operating variable.
Next report arrives November 3
Expeditors' next scheduled checkpoint is its third-quarter 2026 report on November 3, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. That release will show whether the second-quarter revenue acceleration carried into the next reporting period.
Expeditors has a market capitalization of USD 25.2 billion as of October 2, 2026. Its primary listing is on the NYSE, and the 52-week range is USD 112.95 to USD 194.59, placing the latest US quote near the upper end of that span.
