📈 Operating Context

Intermodal pricing stays soft while network decisions keep moving

Shippers are still locking in lower intermodal contract rates for 2026, which points to a freight market that remains cost-sensitive even as operators keep making targeted yard decisions. For IOS, that favors sites that remove friction immediately, especially paved yards near ports, rail nodes, and urban truck corridors.

**Practical takeaway:** The market is still rewarding functionality first, so well-located infill yards can move even before broader freight pricing fully turns.
