Schneider (SNDR) Rides on Low Costs Amid Coronavirus Woes
We recently issued an updated report on Schneider National, Inc. (SNDR - Free Report) .
Schneider National witnessed its second-quarter 2020 revenues decline 15%, thanks to coronavirus-led disruptions. Low freight volumes are weighing on the company’s performance.
Decline in truckload (major revenue generating segment) revenues due to lower volumes and unfavorable pricing is a concern. Notably, revenues in the unit dropped 16% year over year in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, low fuel costs, cost-cutting initiatives and the closure of Schneider National’s unprofitable FTFM operations in 2019 is helping the company. Evidently, income from operations (on a reported basis) increased 29% during the second quarter.
