JOHNS CREEK, Ga., Sept. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Saia, Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIA), a leading transportation provider offering national less-than-truckload (LTL), non-asset truckload, expedited and logistics services, is providing LTL shipment and tonnage data for the first two months of the third quarter. In July 2025, LTL shipments per workday declined 1.2%, LTL tonnage per workday increased 0.9% and LTL weight per shipment increased 2.1% to 1,359 pounds compared to 1,331 pounds in July 2024. In August 2025, LTL shipments per workday declined 2.2%, LTL tonnage per workday declined 2.2% and LTL weight per shipment increased 0.1% to 1,355 pounds compared to 1,354 pounds in August 2024.

I see a paradigm shift: policymakers now prioritize growth over inflation control, targeting 4% inflation and high-single digit GDP growth, reshaping markets. My thesis, born post-pandemic, notes vanishing low-inflation tailwinds. Sticky prices and core services inflation signal a new, tougher inflation regime. I'm betting on cyclical growth, positioning my portfolio for a potential upswing. Green shoots in manufacturing suggest a recovery, promising potentially big gains.

When Wall Street analysts decide to take a stance on a stock, investors often benefit from trying to reverse engineer this decision and shift in perspective. However, when the focus is on a group of stocks within the same industry, the chance to profit from these professional opinions becomes too valuable to ignore, which is fortunately happening right now for investors.

SAIA remains resilient despite external headwinds, supported by strong fundamentals, robust liquidity, and effective fleet optimization. The company's valuation is attractive, trading below historical P/B and P/S averages, offering upside potential as technicals show early bullish signals. Challenges include stubborn inflation, weak oil prices, and tariff uncertainty, but SAIA's prudent freight mix and stable LTL market mitigate risks.

Saia, Inc. (NASDAQ SAIA) reported better-than-expected second-quarter earnings results on Friday.

HOFT, FWRG and SAIA have been added to the Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) List on July 11, 2025.

Despite negative EPS revisions and momentum warnings, I see Saia as fundamentally strong and poised for double-digit growth, making it a Buy. Short-term headwinds from recent acquisitions are temporary; Wall Street expects a strong earnings rebound in 2026 and beyond as scale and productivity improve. The recent price slump is industry-wide, but Saia's financial position and terminal expansion position it well for long-term investors.
