Listen Later

Transportation deal activity may be poised to rebound as freight markets stabilize after a prolonged downturn. Littlejohn & Co. Senior Operating Partner Farrukh Bezar joins Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst Lee Klaskow on this episode of the Talking Transports podcast to discuss how improving market conditions could reignite mergers and acquisitions across logistics. Drawing on his experience as former CSX chief strategy officer, Bezar explains why freight brokerage, forwarding, intermodal and AI-related logistics businesses are attracting investor interest, while emphasizing that exceptional management teams remain the foundation of successful investments. He also shares his outlook for the proposed Union Pacific–Norfolk Southern merger, North American rail growth opportunities and how AI infrastructure is creating new demand across transportation and supply chains.
