Ryder Chairman & CEO Robert Sanchez and EVP & CFO John Diez, along with other members of the senior leadership team, will provide an in-depth review of Ryder’s business transformation and will outline the next phase of the company’s balanced growth strategy, which is focused on accelerating profitable growth supported by operational excellence and customer-centric innovation.

In conjunction with Ryder’s 2024 Investor Day, the company is increasing its long-term adjusted return on equity (ROE) target to a range of low twenties (20% - 22%) over the cycle, up from its prior target range of high teens (17% - 19%) over the cycle.

“The actions we’ve taken to de-risk the model, increase returns, and drive profitable growth under our balanced growth strategy have enabled Ryder to meaningfully outperform prior cycles. We are confident that our transformed business model, strategic initiatives, and expected benefits from the cycle upturn will enable us to exceed prior peak-cycle returns,” says Sanchez.
