C.H. Robinson Worldwide's stock surged 8.40% during intraday trading on Thursday, reflecting a significant positive movement in the market.
The sharp rise follows the company's release of its fourth-quarter financial results, which exceeded analyst expectations. The freight logistics firm reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.23, beating estimates of $1.12, driven by effective cost control measures including a reduction in operating expenses and headcount, as well as the success of its Lean AI strategy.
