Latest developments on Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc.

Old Dominion Freight Line (NASDAQ:ODFL) experienced significant stock price movements today, following a mixed bag of Q1 2024 results. Despite reporting first-quarter earnings per diluted share of $1.34, matching analysts’ estimates, and witnessing a year-over-year rise in earnings, the company’s stock fell. The reason behind this was the lower-than-expected Q1 revenue due to fewer shipments, causing a slump in the company’s shares.

The company’s stock price was further impacted when its price target was cut to $225.00.
