The earnings call reveals mixed signals: revenue growth through acquisitions is positive, but significant declines in net income and adjusted net income due to market challenges are concerning. The Q&A highlights potential long-term growth from Navegate and opportunities in Mexico, but the lack of clear guidance and specifics on key issues like the First Brands bankruptcy and Navegate's impact tempers optimism. The company's active stock buyback program is a positive, but overall, the lack of strong short-term catalysts and market uncertainties suggest a neutral stock price movement.
Adjusted EBITDA $6.8 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $2.655 million or 28.1% year-over-year.

The decrease is attributed to persistent headwinds in the challenging freight market.
