Pitney Bowes Inc. launches sendpro cx Series. Published on 10/06/2026 at 11:50 am EDT S&P Capital IQ Pitney Bowes Inc. announced the launch of the SendPro CX Series, a new generation of sending technology designed around one goal: making it easier for organizations to send mail and packages. Developed from direct customer feedback, the CX Series introduces a simpler user experience, faster processing speeds, and more advanced capabilities, helping businesses process mail more efficiently. The CX Series reflects Pitney Bowes' continued commitment to improving customer experience through practical innovation. The CX Series offers a range of devices designed to meet the day-to-day needs of mailrooms and smaller offices, whether processing letters, large envelopes, certified mail, or packages. At the core of every CX Series device is the accurate postage Pitney Bowes clients have relied on for generations. Building on that foundation, the CX Series introduces enhancements designed to make each device significantly easier to use, keeping mail moving with fewer interruptions and greater speed, with minimal training required. The CX Series was developed based on input from Pitney Bowes clients, who consistently identified ease of use, productivity, reliability, and operational efficiency as their top priorities. Enhancements such as faster start-up and simplified navigation address those priorities and are designed to fit within clients' existing mailing workflows. For organizations managing multiple locations, the CX Series extends beyond the device through integration with Pitney Bowes' Shipping 360 platform. Administrators gain centralized visibility across mailing and shipping activity, enabling them to monitor usage, manage costs, and oversee sending operations from a single view. With integrated mailing and shipping capabilities hosted on a secure platform, the CX Series helps enterprises maintain control and consistency across their operations. The Pitney Bowes CX Series is available through Pitney Bowes sales representatives and authorized partners. (C) S&P Capital IQ - 2026

Pitney Bowes reported Q2 revenues of $451.5 million, down 2.3% year-on-year but exceeding analyst expectations by 1.8%. The shipping and mailing technology company also beat EPS estimates. However, Pitney Bowes delivered the weakest full-year guidance among the seven industrial and environmental services stocks tracked. The sector overall showed strength in Q2, with revenues beating consensus estimates by 1.1%. Share prices across the group have risen 1.4% on average since earnings results. Pitney Bowes stock declined 1.5% post-earnings and currently trades at $17.40. The industrial and environmental services sector faces tailwinds from growing regulatory pressure on environmental compliance and corporate ESG commitments, whilst navigating challenges including evolving regulations, commodity market volatility, and labour shortages.

Pitney Bowes expands presort capacity, plans 400 hires amid industry closures. September 1, 2026 Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) is expanding its Presort Services capacity with new high-speed sorting equipment and plans to hire more than 400 employees as the company positions its national network to absorb mail volume affected by the planned closure of Postal Center International. The investment comes during a period of consolidation in the U.S. presort mail market. Postal Center International, or PCI, is planning to close, following the December 2025 closure of Capitol Presort Services LLC. Pitney Bowes said it has developed a contingency plan to help organizations facing service interruptions shift their presort operations to its network. For large-volume mailers, a provider closure can create immediate operational and financial challenges, including delayed mailings, potential liabilities and lost revenue. Pitney Bowes is seeking to use its existing scale, transportation infrastructure and new capacity investments to accelerate transitions for affected customers. "We understand the uncertainty and disruption PCI's closure creates for the mailers who depend on its services, and our priority is to help these organizations keep their mail operations moving," said Debbie Pfeiffer, executive vice president and president of Pitney Bowes Presort Services. She said the company already has the network infrastructure to handle additional volume and is investing in both equipment and staffing. Pitney Bowes Presort Services processes nearly 14 billion pieces of mail annually for more than 2,000 clients. Its national footprint includes more than 30 operating sites, giving the business the ability to distribute volume across multiple facilities and accommodate different customer requirements. The company is now adding high-speed sorting equipment throughout that network and plans to bring on more than 400 additional employees to support increased demand. The expansion could strengthen Pitney Bowes' position as presort customers reassess providers following the recent industry closures. Transportation is another component of the company's capacity strategy. Presort Services operates with more than 350 drivers and vehicles that collectively cover approximately 20 million miles each year. That network supports the movement of mail between customers, processing facilities and the U.S. Postal Service. Pitney Bowes, a longstanding USPS partner, said it is working to maintain continuity for organizations affected by PCI's planned closure. Its presort operation combines mail from multiple customers, sorts it according to postal requirements and transports it through the postal network, helping commercial mailers improve processing efficiency and reduce postage costs. Technology is also part of the company's pitch to customers considering a provider change. Pitney Bowes offers client-facing tools that provide visibility into mail performance, along with APIs designed to allow organizations to integrate with its services without rebuilding their existing technology connections. The broader Pitney Bowes organization gives the company additional options for customers whose requirements extend beyond presorting. The Pitney Bowes Bank, Inc., a member of the FDIC, can provide financing support to eligible organizations facing near-term funding requirements associated with a presort transition. Pitney Bowes Sending Technology Solutions can also support customers with additional mailing and shipping requirements. Organizations that previously relied on PCI for outsourced mailing services can use Mailstream On Demand, the company's outsourced print-to-mail service, which operates through the Presort Services network. The capacity expansion illustrates how provider exits can reshape competitive dynamics in an established but infrastructure-intensive segment of the mailing industry. Presort operations require sorting equipment, transportation capacity, postal expertise and sufficient geographic density to handle large volumes reliably, creating advantages for operators with established national networks. For Pitney Bowes, the closures present an opportunity to add volume to an operation that already handles billions of mail pieces annually while potentially deepening relationships with customers requiring multiple mailing, shipping and financing services. The company said it is working with organizations evaluating replacement presort providers and assessing their mail volumes, geographic requirements and operating profiles as they consider transitioning services. Pitney Bowes provides digital shipping, mailing and financial services to businesses and government organizations globally, including more than 90% of the Fortune 500. Its Presort Services unit provides presorting, commingling, transportation and related services through its nationwide operating network.
