GXO Logistics

Pure-play contract logistics operator with about 200 million sq ft

Overview

GXO Logistics, headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, describes itself in its annual report as the largest pure-play contract logistics provider in the world[2]. It was incorporated in Delaware in February 2021 and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker GXO on 2 August 2021, after XPO spun it off to shareholders[2].

At 31 December 2025 GXO had approximately 154,000 team members operating 1,043 facilities totalling about 221 million square feet in 26 countries, mainly for large corporations that have outsourced warehousing, distribution, order fulfilment, e-commerce and returns[2]. Revenue was US$13.18 billion in 2025, up from US$11.71 billion in 2024[18]. Growth was boosted by the April 2024 acquisition of the UK provider Wincanton; the UK Competition and Markets Authority cleared the deal in June 2025, subject to the divestment of a small number of grocery contracts[2].

GXO’s contracts are long-term and mostly combine fixed and variable fees, with both closed-book and open-book structures[2]. Its strengths are its warehouse-only focus and automation programmes; its main exposure is integration risk from acquisitions such as Wincanton.
