The logistics giant Gxo Logistics found itself at the centre of a financial storm following two significant announcements made in early December 2025. The first was the voluntary resignation of Ceo Malcolm Wilson, set to step down in 2025. The second was the rejection of multiple acquisition offers. These developments triggered a decline in the company’s stock value.
According to anonymous sources cited by Bloomberg, several acquisition bids were submitted, but the Connecticut-based company, headquartered in Greenwich, declined them. Instead, Gxo appears committed to strengthening its position as an independent leader in the logistics sector.
Malcolm Wilson, who has led Gxo since 2021, has played a pivotal role in establishing the company as a global powerhouse in logistics. Under his leadership, Gxo became a strategic partner for global brands such as Nike and H&M, offering services in warehousing, distribution, and supply chain management. The announcement of his resignation has come as a surprise to both investors and analysts alike.
