Radiant Logistics announced that its board has renewed its share‑repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of up to five million shares of common stock through December 31, 2027. The program represents roughly 10.7 % of the company’s 46,873,197 shares outstanding as of November 14, 2025, and will be funded from existing cash balances, the $200 million revolving credit facility, and future operating cash flows.

The renewal signals management’s confidence in the company’s financial position. Radiant’s Altman Z‑Score of 3.67 and debt‑to‑equity ratio of 0.41 indicate a strong balance sheet and low leverage, while the company has maintained a stable cash position that can support the buyback without compromising growth initiatives. CEO Bohn Crain emphasized that the current share price does not reflect the company’s long‑term growth prospects, framing the repurchase as an attractive use of capital to return value to shareholders.

Radiant’s recent financial performance provides context for the buyback. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the company reported revenue of $203.6 million, down from $210.8 million in the prior year, and earnings per share of $0.09, which fell short of analyst expectations of $0.12. The decline reflects softer freight markets and competitive pressures that have weighed on revenue growth, which has slowed 13.6 % over the past three years. Despite these headwinds, the company’s operating margin remained resilient, supported by cost‑control initiatives and a favorable mix of higher‑margin services.

The share‑repurchase program is part of a broader strategy to strengthen shareholder value. By reducing the share count, the program is expected to lift earnings per share and enhance the company’s return on equity. The program’s two‑year duration allows Radiant to execute purchases opportunistically, taking advantage of market conditions while preserving flexibility for future investments, such as the recent 80 % acquisition of Mexico‑based Weport that expands the company’s North American footprint.

Overall, the renewal reflects management’s belief that the stock is undervalued and that the company’s financial health and growth prospects justify a significant capital‑allocation move. The program is positioned to reinforce investor confidence and support the company’s long‑term strategic objectives.
