ODFL revenue earnings history

ODFL FY2026 Q1 · Calendar Q2 2026

Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc.

Old Dominion Freight Line's Q1 2026 results delivered the first concrete signs of the freight demand recovery management had been positioning for. Revenue of $1.33 billion exceeded both the company's own Q1 guidance range of $1.25 to $1.30 billion and consensus estimates, while EPS of $1.14 beat by 8.6%. The operating ratio improved sequentially to 76.2% from 76.7% in Q4 2025, and weight per shipment rose roughly 1% year-over-year in April. Management's tone shifted from cautious to confident, with capex stepping up to $205 million for 2026 after several years of heavy network investment. Despite the fundamental beat, the stock dropped 5.6% on the report on 2.7x normal volume before drifting back 5.5% over subsequent weeks, suggesting the recovery narrative was largely priced in at the time of the report.
