On the Bubble
Forward Air Posts Q2 Loss, but Revenue Soars on Acquisition
Despite the reported net loss, investors appeared to be responding positively. It was primarily due to a one-time goodwill impairment charge related to the Omni acquisition.
ArcBest Q2 Profit Climbs on LTL Margin, Price Increase
Profit at ArcBest rose 16.1% year over year in the second quarter as an improvement in less-than-truckload revenue per shipment and an increase in prices trumped a decline in shipments.
Hub Group Misses Analyst Expectations on Weak Q2 Market
Hub Group profit in the second quarter of 2024 fell due to the ongoing weakness in the North American freight market, but a final-mile acquisition in December 2023 offered a bright spot.
Schneider Q2 Profit Slumps as Intermodal, Logistics Revenue Falls
Schneider National profit in the second quarter of 2024 slumped 54% as price increases failed to arrive as early as the carrier expected and ongoing freight market weakness saw intermodal and logistics revenue decline.
XPO Q2 Profit Jumps as LTL Shipments Rise 4.5%
XPO profit jumped in the second quarter as revenue increased 8% on the back of a 4.5% increase in North American LTL shipments and 7.4% rise in the return obtained for those shipments.
Landstar Q2 Profits Dip Amid Dry Van Market Softness
Profit and revenue at Landstar System Inc. fell in the second quarter of 2024, largely on the back of truckload market weakness.
Werner Spots Signs of Hope Despite Disappointing Q2
Profit dropped at Werner Enterprises Inc. in the second quarter of 2024 as revenue slid more than analysts expected on the back of continued freight weakness, although executives are seeing more room for optimism from the last few weeks.
Estes Eyes 12% Terminal Door Total Increase in 2024
Estes Express Lines expects the number of terminal doors in the less-than-truckload carrier’s portfolio to jump more than 12% in 2024 to a total exceeding 12,750.
Saia Lifts Target for 2024 Terminal Openings to 21
Saia could open a large batch of terminals in 2024 as profits and revenue grow at the less-than-truckload carrier, largely on the back of facilities acquired from the estate of Yellow Corp.
TFI Eyes Large Truckload, LTL Acquisitions in 2025, 2026
TFI International’s ongoing acquisition spree is set to accelerate in 2025, with substantial truckload and less-than-truckload deals on the horizon, according to CEO Alain Bédard.
