SAIASaia Inc
Saia, Inc. reported record second-quarter 2026 revenue of $956.5 million, a 17.1% increase year-over-year, driven by a 4.4% rise in shipments per workday and improved pricing. Operating income grew 26% to $125 million, resulting in an operating ratio of 86.9%, which marked a significant sequential improvement from the first quarter. Diluted earnings per share reached $3.51, up 31.5% from the prior year period. The company implemented a 7.1% general rate increase (GRI) in early July and noted strong customer acceptance of pricing actions despite headwinds from lower weight-per-shipment yields in certain regions. Saia operates in the less-than-truckload (LTL) freight transportation industry, providing regional and national shipping services.
