FedEx is guiding for a major profit acceleration, but on its latest earnings call, analysts pressed hard on whether the growth is real or just a story of well-timed costs.

Old Dominion Freight is set to announce its second-quarter earnings this month, and Wall Street expects a double-digit rise in its profits.

Investing.com -- Citi has adopted a more cautious stance on North American trucking stocks, arguing that strong freight fundamentals and rising earnings expectations are already largely reflected in share prices after a sharp rally across the sector in 2026.

Amazon.com muscled into the less-than-truckload (LTL) freight business on Wednesday, driving S&P 500 members FedEx Freight and Old Dominion Freight Lines into a pothole. However, the freight stocks bounced back off early lows as investors saw a relatively modest near-term threat.

Amazon Broadens Freight Offering Across the United StatesShares of Saia (NASDAQ:SAIA), Old Dominion Freight Line (NASDAQ:ODFL) and FedEx Freight (NYSE:FDXF) came under pressure in premarket trading after Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) unveiled a significant expansion of its less-than-truckload (LTL) freight business.

Jim Cramer says newly public FedEx Freight could become a “true winner” as Wall Street bets the trucking giant’s spinoff from FedEx will finally unlock the premium valuation.

As North America's largest pure-play LTL carrier, the newly spun-off company faces a shrunken market, skeptical analysts and a long road to its own margin targets.

FedEx Freight began trading as an independent company this week, but analysts say stronger margins and operating performance are needed before they become more bullish on the stock.

Instead, FedEx’s spinoff—FedEx Freight trades under the symbol FDXF—is complete. FedEx was at $333 in late-morning trading, down about 1% from its Friday close north of $411. FedEx Freight shares were trading for $164, up about 2.5% from its late Friday price of about $160.

The long-awaited spinoff of FedEx Freight is just about done, and shares of the newly independent less-than-truckload business start trading on Monday, June 1. Old Dominion Freight Line and XPO are LTL shippers. The reason for FedEx’s separation of its LTL business is relatively obvious.

Shares of trucking companies such as Old Dominion and J.B.

Brokers face increased verification responsibilities and may direct customers to the larger trucking companies that have more resources for safety programs compared with smaller or newer carriers.

Old Dominion Freight Line (NASDAQ:ODFL) executives said first-quarter results showed improving demand trends as the period progressed, even as revenue declined year over year amid lower less-than-truckload (LTL) volumes.
