Investing.com reported on October 15, 2026 that StoneX lowered its Saia target from USD 500.00 to USD 480.00 while keeping a Buy rating. Against the USD 341.46 primary-market price, the new target stands 40.58 percent higher. Saia stock was trading at EUR 304.50 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026 at 10:29 p.m. CEST.

Second-quarter revenue sets the baseline

Saia reported USD 956.49 million in revenue for the second quarter of 2026, up 17.10 percent from the year-ago quarter. Diluted earnings per share reached USD 3.51, compared with USD 2.67 in the second quarter of 2025, according to MarketBeat.

The StoneX note cited softer shipment trends in Saia's September quarter-to-date update. Tonnage per workday increased 8.30 percent year over year, below StoneX's earlier 9.50 percent forecast, according to Investing.com. The gap between the two figures explains why the target was reduced even as the firm retained its Buy rating.
