Let’s see how things have shaped up for ODFL this earnings season.
Factors Likely to Have Influenced ODFL’s Q2 Performance
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ODFL’s second-quarter 2025 earnings per share has been revised downward by 1.53% in the past 60 days to $1.29 per share. Moreover, the consensus mark implies a 12.84% decline from the year-ago actuals.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ODFL’s second-quarter 2025 revenues is pegged at $1.42 billion, indicating a 5.55% decrease year over year. The top-line performance in the second quarter is expected to have suffered from weak freight demand, geopolitical uncertainty, tariff-related uncertainties and high inflationary pressure.
The freight market downturn is expected to have significantly impacted the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. The decline in demand for freight services is likely to have reduced shipments and rates, impacting the company’s top line.
Per our model, we expect revenues from LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) Services to be $1.41 billion, which indicates a decline of 5.3%, and other Services revenues to be $16.5 million, implying a rise of 20% from second-quarter 2024 actuals. Low fuel costs might aid the June quarter bottom-line results.
What Our Model Says About ODFL
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Old Dominion this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
ODFL has an Earnings ESP of -0.68% and a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
