Deep Analysis

Gross margin measures the percentage of revenue a company retains after paying direct costs to produce its services; EXPD’s current 14.0% is well below the sector median of 44.2%, placing it at the 6th percentile among peers.

The year-over-year change is unavailable, but the quarter-over-quarter decline of -59.9% shows a sharp contraction from the prior quarter’s 34.9%, with the trend direction over the last eight quarters also not reported. The combination of a low gross-margin level and a steep sequential drop signals elevated near-term risk, as it suggests falling pricing power or rising input costs relative to competitors. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, because the margin weakness and negative momentum add downside pressure not reflected in a balanced view.
