Heartland Express reported a $10.9 million net operating loss in Q2 2025, a sequential improvement from its previous quarter but still reflecting a challenging market. The carrier faced headwinds from tariff actions, economic uncertainty, and difficulties integrating its Contract Freighters, Inc. and Smith Transport acquisitions from 2022.

Heartland Express reported a net loss of $10.9 million in Q2 2025, more than tripling its loss from the previous year, with revenue falling 30.7% to $210.4 million amidst a challenging freight market. CEO Mike Gerdin noted that while current capacity outpaces weak freight demand and unsustainable pricing impacts the industry, the company is optimizing operations and expects material improvements later in 2025 and a positive outlook for 2026. Efforts include strategically reducing underperforming lanes, shrinking the overall fleet, and unifying all four brands under a common transportation management system by year-end.

Heartland Express, Inc. (NASDAQ:HTLD) has a low Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio of 0.7x, which is lower than the industry average for transportation companies. This low P/S ratio is attributed to the company's declining revenue, including a 16% drop last year and a forecast of an 8.6% decline in the upcoming year, contrasting with the industry's projected 8.4% growth. Consequently, the market is not expecting strong revenue growth, justifying the current low valuation.
