JOHNS CREEK, Ga. - Saia, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAIA), a prominent player in the transportation sector with a market capitalization of $7 billion, has released its less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping statistics for the initial two months of the second quarter of 2025. According to InvestingPro data, the company has maintained strong profitability with a gross margin of 25.4% over the last twelve months, despite recent market volatility. The data presents a mixed picture, with a decrease in LTL shipments per workday and an increase in LTL weight per shipment.
In April, the company experienced a 1.9% drop in LTL shipments per workday, while LTL tonnage per workday rose by 4.4%. Additionally, the average weight per LTL shipment in April climbed by 6.5% year-over-year to 1,418 pounds.

The company’s operational efficiency remains solid, with InvestingPro analysis showing a healthy current ratio of 1.43 and moderate debt levels.
