Invesco Small Cap Value Fund stated the following regarding ArcBest Corporation (NASDAQ:ARCB) in its Q4 2025 investor letter:

ArcBest Corporation (NASDAQ:ARCB): This logistics and freight transportation company operates less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping, which is used for shipments too large for parcel delivery but too small for a full truckload. The trucking industry has been in a multi-year cyclical downturn; however, we believe ArcBest’s operational efficiency and technological advancements using artificial intelligence (AI) should position the company well once demand recovers.
