Old Dominion Freight Line stock is heading toward its October 28, 2026 results after second-quarter diluted EPS reached USD 1.68 against USD 1.54 consensus and revenue rose 10.4 percent to USD 1.55 billion. Yahoo Finance reported that the company plans to publish third-quarter results before trading opens on October 28, 2026, followed by a 10:00 a.m. ET conference call.
Second quarter delivered a clear beat
For Q2/2026, Old Dominion reported USD 1.68 in diluted EPS, up from USD 1.27 in Q2/2025, while revenue reached USD 1.55 billion from USD 1.54 billion expected. The EPS result exceeded consensus by USD 0.14, and the 10.4 percent revenue increase gives the upcoming report a higher comparison base.
MarketBeat reported these Q2 figures on October 2, 2026, including a net margin of 19.44 percent. The result matters because Old Dominion must now translate pricing gains into volume growth as investors assess the October report.
Analysts lower the valuation bar

The broader consensus in the same October 2, 2026 report was Hold, based on 10 Buy, 14 Hold and two Sell ratings, with an average target of USD 226.35. That average target lies 25.4 percent above the October 2 price, leaving analyst opinion more optimistic than the latest individual target cut.
