Read MoreHide Full Article

The company recently reported second-quarter 2022 earnings of 72 cents per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 68 cents. The bottom line surged 20% from the year-ago quarter’s levels. Operating revenues of $1,746.9 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,668.8 million and rallied 28.4% year over year as economic activities gained pace. Revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) increased 20% to $1,497.9 million.
How is Schneider Doing?
Solid performance in the Truckload, Intermodal and Logistics segments is driving Schneider National’s top line, which increased 20%, 22% and 21%, respectively, year over year in second-quarter 2022. Surge in Truckload revenues was primarily owing to Midwest Logistics Systems revenues, effective yield management and dedicated new business growth. The Intermodal segment is benefiting from favorable revenue management actions, while the Logistics unit is thriving on the back of increased revenue per order, higher volumes within the company’s brokerage offering, including increased contribution from the Power Only service offering, and incremental port dray revenues.
Further, Schneider National anticipates an excess demand condition with a gradual supply-chain improvement. Owing to the bullish demand scenario, management raised the 2022 EPS forecast. Schneider now anticipates 2022 adjusted earnings per share in the range of $2.60-$2.70 (previous view: $2.55-$2.70).
However, rising operating expenses, mainly due to high purchased transportation costs and salaries, wages and benefits expenses, can hurt the bottom line. Total operating expenses increased 27.1% year over year in second-quarter 2022, with a 19.9% surge in purchased transportation costs and a 23.6% rise in salaries, wages and benefits expenses.
