Columbia Sportswear announced a new 10-year relationship under which GXO Logistics took over management of its primary European distribution center in Cambrai, France, handling inbound logistics, storage, order fulfillment and outbound distribution across multiple continental markets. The long-term mandate reinforces GXO's role in complex, omni-channel logistics for global brands and strengthens the contract-wins and revenue-visibility side of its investment story. GXO's narrative projects $15.7 billion revenue and $415.7 million earnings by 2029, requiring 5.2% yearly revenue growth and about a $283.7 million earnings increase from $132.0 million today, with a $70.67 fair value implying 54% upside to its current price. The most optimistic analysts already assumed revenues around US$16.4 billion and earnings near US$437 million by 2029, tied to faster margin gains. The deal does not directly change near-term focus on improving profitability and cash conversion, or execution risks tied to leadership turnover and large integrations like Wincanton.
