Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call reflects a company that is managing to improve operational efficiency and optimize its network despite a challenging economic environment, which has resulted in flat revenue and increased operating expenses. The focus on cost control and network expansion shows promise, but the current market conditions are holding back significant growth.
Company Guidance
In the third quarter of 2025, Saia, Inc. reported a revenue of $839.6 million, which remained relatively flat compared to the previous year. The adjusted operating ratio was 87.6%, reflecting an increase of 250 basis points from the third quarter of 2024 but an improvement of 20 basis points sequentially from the second quarter of 2025.

Contractual renewal rates stood at 5.1%, indicating strong customer retention. Additionally, shipments per workday reflected a sequential improvement of 3.2%, although they were down 1.9% compared to the same period in 2024.
