C.H. Robinson (CHRW): Agrees to buy RXO in a $5.8B cash-and-stock deal
C.H. Robinson agreed to buy RXO for about $5.8B: $17.25 cash plus 0.0856 CHRW shares per RXO share, or $30.25 implied, a 29% premium to RXO's Oct 2 close. It targets c.$300M of cost synergies within two years. Close is expected in 1H 2027.
Why it matters Two large freight brokers combine, which could reshape US truckload brokerage. Deal value depends on CHRW's share price, and the transaction still needs regulatory and RXO shareholder approval.
What we verified RXO's 8-K and Bloomberg-syndicated coverage confirm the 5 Oct 2026 terms ($17.25 cash plus 0.0856 CHRW shares, $30.25 implied, 29% premium to the 2 Oct close, 27% to the 90-day VWAP), c.$300M net run-rate synergies and expected close in 1H 2027. Intraday share moves varied by report, so none are quoted.
