Old Dominion Freight Line shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q3 financial results.

Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ODFL#NASDAQ">ODFL</a>) shares are trading lower following <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41483669/old-dominion-freight-line-reports-third-quarter-2024-earnings-per-diluted-share-of-1-43" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter results</a>.
The company reported a revenue decline of&nbsp;3.0%&nbsp;year-over-year to&nbsp;$1.470 billion, missing the consensus of&nbsp;$1.492 billion. EPS was&nbsp;$1.43,<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> missing the consensus of&nbsp;$1.47.</a>
The revenue decrease is primarily due to a&nbsp;4.8% decrease in LTL tons per day, partially offset by a 1.5% increase in LTL revenue per hundredweight.
The decline in LTL tons per day is attributed to a 3.4% drop in LTL shipments per day and a 1.4% reduction in LTL weight per shipment.
LTL revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges, rose 4.6% in the quarter.
Operating income fell 9.7%&nbsp;to&nbsp;$401.9 million, with an operating ratio of&nbsp;72.7%, compared to&nbsp;70.6%&nbsp;a year ago.
Old Dominion&#8217;s operating cash flow was&nbsp;$446.5&nbsp;million&nbsp;for the&nbsp;third quarter&nbsp;and&nbsp;$1.3&nbsp;billion&nbsp;for the first nine months.
As of September 30, the company had&nbsp;$74.2&nbsp;million&nbsp;in cash and equivalents. Capital expenditures stood at&nbsp;$242.8&nbsp;million&nbsp;in the&nbsp;third&nbsp;quarter.
For the first nine&nbsp;months of this year, Old Dominion returned capital to shareholders, spending&nbsp;$824.8&nbsp;million&nbsp;on share repurchases, including a&nbsp;$200 million&nbsp;accelerated program, and paying&nbsp;$168.2&nbsp;million&nbsp;in dividends.
Marty Freeman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Old Dominion, commented, &#8220;Old Dominion&#8217;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.&#8221;
&#8220;The decrease in revenue had a deleveraging effect on many of our operating expenses, which contributed to the 110 basis point increase in our overhead costs as a percent of revenue. Direct operating costs also increased as a percent of revenue despite our team operating very efficiently during the third quarter.&#8221;

Price Action: ODFL shares are down 5.79% at $187.99 premarket at the last check Wednesday.

Examining the Future: Old Dominion Freight Line's Earnings Outlook

Stifel analyst J. Bruce Chan downgrades Old Dominion Freight Line (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ODFL#NASDAQ">ODFL</a>) from Buy to Hold and lowers the price target from $209 to $197.

Stifel Downgrades Old Dominion Freight Line to Hold, Lowers Price Target to $197

Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ODFL#NASDAQ">ODFL</a>) shares are trading slightly lower on Friday. BMO Capital Markets analyst Fadi Chamoun downgraded the company to Market Perform from Outperform and lowered the price <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/USM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">target to $210 from $214</a>.
The analyst writes that consensus/BMOe F2025 earnings expectations have decreased by 13%/15%. Demand remains muted, and the timeline for a recovery in freight markets continues to be delayed.
The downgrade reflects anticipation of further negative revisions as the recovery timeline for freight markets extends.
Chamoun says that industrial demand, which represents two-thirds of LTL traffic, remains sluggish.
The analyst writes that although loosening monetary policy is expected to boost volume eventually, the delay between lower rates and a resurgence in demand extends the potential recovery timeline into H2 2025 or beyond.
With multiples at record highs, the near-term margin of safety is limited, adds the analyst.
The analyst reduced the below-consensus forecast for FY25 by 2.5% to $6.00 (versus consensus at $6.27) and for FY26 by 3.3% to $7.06 (compared to consensus of $7.15).
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;First Trust S&amp;P 500 Diversified Dividend Aristocrats ETF&nbsp;(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYT#BATS">IYT</a>) and&nbsp;ProShares Trust ProShares Supply Chain Logistics ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SUPL#NYSE">SUPL</a>).

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
