Oshkosh, ArcBest, Heartland Express, Trinity, and Covenant Logistics Shares Are Falling, What You Need To Know

What Happened?

A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after bellwether United Parcel Service (UPS) reported weak earnings and withheld its full-year guidance, citing “macro-economic uncertainty” and low consumer sentiment. 

The logistics giant reported a decline in revenue and missed profit estimates, sending a chill through the entire logistics chain. UPS pointed to a challenging economic environment and near-historic lows in U.S. consumer confidence as key factors for its performance. By withholding its full-year forecast, the company signaled significant uncertainty ahead, confirming fears of a broader economic slowdown that could impact demand for shipping and freight services. This news weighed on other ground and rail transportation stocks, as investors worried that the headwinds affecting UPS could be a sign of wider issues across the industry.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

Among others, the following stocks were impacted:

Zooming In On Trinity (TRN)

Trinity’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 8 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 12 months ago when the stock gained 11% on the news that the company reported second-quarter results that blew past analysts' EPS expectations. Its revenue also outperformed Wall Street's estimates. 

On the other hand, its backlog missed. Regardless, it was encouraging that the company raised full year guidance to a range of $1.55 to $1.7 (vs. previous guidance of $1.35 to $1.55). Overall, this was a strong quarter that should satisfy shareholders.

Trinity is down 28.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $25.21 per share, it is trading 36.1% below its 52-week high of $39.45 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Trinity’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,231.
