Ryder Q1 profit falls as comparable EPS drops to $2.14; raises low end of 2024 forecast
Ryder reported first-quarter 2024 results with total revenue of $3.1 billion, up from $3.0 billion a year earlier, but diluted GAAP EPS from continuing operations fell to $1.89 from $2.95 and comparable EPS fell to $2.14 from $2.81. The company raised the lower end of its full-year 2024 comparable EPS forecast to $11.75 to $12.50, which the filing says reflects first-quarter outperformance partly offset by a more modest rental upturn than expected.
