RXO Shares Jump Premarket on Coyote Logistics Deal

By Colin Kellaher

 

Shares of RXO rose nearly 15% in premarket trading Monday after the freight broker agreed to buy United Parcel Service's freight-brokerage business for $1.025 billion.

RXO on Sunday said the acquisition of Coyote Logistics will make the Charlotte, N.C., company the third-largest provider of brokered transportation in North America.

The deal, which RXO plans to fund with a mix of equity and debt, is slated to close by the end of the year.

RXO shares, which closed Friday at $20.21, were recently up 14% to $23.07 in premarket trading.
