Landstar Q2 revenue rises 18% to $1.43 billion; EPS up 20% to $1.44
Landstar System reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $1.432 billion and earnings per share of $1.44, both up from the 2025 second quarter. Higher insurance and claims expense, mainly from unfavorable development of prior years' claims, weighed on results, and the Board raised the quarterly dividend by 10%.
