Feb 23 : Global logistics provider C.H. Robinson’s CEO Dave Bozeman dismissed a recent selloff tied to AI-led disruption in the freight industry, and said the race to adopt the technology would spur consolidation instead. <\/p>\n

C.H. Robinson’s shares posted their biggest single-day drop in roughly two years on February 12 amid a broader selloff in transportation and logistics stocks, driven by headlines about new AI-enabled freight platforms that investors fear could disrupt traditional brokerage models.<\/p>\n

The stock has recovered some ground since the 14.5 per cent slump earlier this month. It was down 6.1 per cent at $178.44 in afternoon trading on Monday.<\/p>\n

The selloff was triggered by AI-technology company Algorhythm Holdings’ comments that its SemiCab platform is helping customers scale freight volumes by 300 per cent to 400 per cent without adding operational headcount.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Reuters, Bozeman called the selloff in C.H. Robinson’s stock a “short-term reaction”, adding that the company’s scale and vast proprietary data set give it an advantage that is difficult and costly for rivals to replicate.<\/p>\n

“We’re going to go into agentic artificial intelligence that’s going to make us faster and even better,” Bozeman added. <\/p>\n

He expects more industry consolidation as smaller companies face challenges competing in an AI-driven market that requires large-scale data and deep domain expertise – advantages that are difficult to build quickly even with fresh capital.<\/p>\n

C.H. Robinson last month reported fourth-quarter profit above Wall Street estimates, helped in part by AI-driven efficiencies that streamlined operations and reduced manual processes across its routine functions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
