ODFL's top line in the second quarter of 2025 is expected to have been hurt by freight market softness, inflationary pressure and tariff-related uncertainties.

Old Dominion remains my top LTL pick for its unmatched customer service and pricing power, making it a long-term winner. Despite ongoing volume declines, freight prices are firming, signaling supply-demand balance as weaker players exit and capacity tightens. Industry-wide capex cuts, especially by ODFL and peers, historically signal a market bottom and set the stage for recovery.

I'm zooming in on four core holdings, about a third of my portfolio, to explain why I'm betting big and staying patient through short-term noise. These stocks offer a mix of secular and cyclical growth, pricing power, and rising moats. They aren't high yielders, but I believe they'll outperform. My concentrated portfolio is volatile by design, but I'm in it for long-term alpha. I see dip-buying opportunities in some and strong hold cases in others.
