ZTO Express remains a Buy, after my assessment of its performance and outlook. ZTO's 11% 2Q2026 EPS beat was underpinned by the avoidance of price wars and AI-driven cost reductions. Despite lowering full-year volume growth guidance to +8%, ZTO's upward pricing adjustments, high-value business mix shift, and share repurchases support continued EPS growth.
ZTO's second-quarter 2026 revenues benefit from growth in parcel volume.
