Supply-chain executives are more optimistic about freight markets and the pace of mergers and acquisitions in 2025. Deals can be a win-win for buyers and sellers as seen by RXO’s recent acquisition of Coyote, UPS’ brokerage business. The transaction lets UPS focus on its parcel business while provides RXO with significantly increased market penetration. Some deals are motivated by companies expanding their specialties in a service or geography. In this Talking Transports podcast, Ben Gordon, founder of BGSA Holdings and Cambridge Capital, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to share his insights about the state of the M&A and private equity markets for transportation, logistics and tangential technology companies. Gordon also discusses what can motivate a seller, and valuations.
