During its Q1 2026 earnings call, C.H. Robinson Worldwide, led by President, CEO and Director David Bozeman, pointed to another strong quarter of execution.

He also said the NAST segment continued to gain market share, marking its 12th straight quarter of gains. Bozeman added that management remained confident in executing its strategic priorities. He said the company is reaffirming its 2026 operating income target, which had been raised in October of the prior year. In discussing innovation, he described “Lean AI” as the company’s distinct and disciplined approach to advancing AI initiatives.
