Old Dominion reports Q3 EPS $1.43, consensus $1.42

Reports Q3 revenue $1.47B, consensus $1.49B. Marty Freeman, president and CEO of Old Dominion (ODFL), commented, “Old Dominion’s third quarter financial results reflect ongoing softness in the domestic economy. The challenging operating environment, and strong comparable results for the third quarter of 2023, resulted in the first year-over-year decrease in our quarterly revenue and earnings per diluted share this year. Our market share and volume trends, however, remained relatively consistent with the first half of this year while our yield continued to improve. The consistency in our market share and yield performance continued to be supported by our best-in-class service, as we once again provided our customers with 99% on-time service and a cargo claims ratio of 0.1% during the quarter.”
