  "account": "GXO Logistics reported a 5.7% increase in third-quarter revenue to $3.59 billion, as demand for its contract logistics services surged. The company secured $375 million in new business wins, a 34% increase compared to the previous year. North America, particularly data centers, is driving GXO's expansion, with the regional sales pipeline reaching $1.3 billion. The company also saw strong growth from technology and consumer electronics customers, with revenue increasing 19% due to data center activity. GXO's strategic growth industries, including aerospace and defense, industrial logistics, and life sciences, accounted for around 40% of its new business wins. However, the rapid expansion of customer operations came with additional costs, resulting in flat adjusted EBITDA and a 7% adjusted EBITDA margin. Despite the challenges, GXO reaffirmed its full-year guidance, expecting organic revenue growth of 4% to 5% and adjusted EBITDA between $945 million and $965 million.",
