What the filing says
Ryder reported Q3 2026 GAAP EPS of $4.16 (up 25% from $3.33 in Q3 2025) and comparable EPS of $4.33 (up 21% from $3.57). Total revenue reached $3.4 billion (up 8% YoY). The company raised full-year 2026 comparable EPS guidance to $14.85–$15.05 (from prior guidance implicitly lower) and ROE (non-GAAP) to 18%–19%. All three business segments contributed: FMS EBT rose 21% to $177M, SCS EBT grew 7% to $91M, DTS EBT declined 5% to $34M. Free cash flow for nine months was $992M vs. $496M prior year, driven by $1.985B operating cash flow and lower capex. Debt-to-equity improved to 242% from 250% year-end.
Why this rating
Q3 earnings beat and FY guidance raise are material for a $6.3B company; 25% EPS growth and strategic initiative benefits ($70M+ target) are real. Debt reduction and strong cash generation are positive. However, the magnitude is meaningful but not transformational—modest revenue growth (8% total, 6% operating) and DTS decline temper momentum. ROE lift to 18–19% is solid but incremental.
