Old Dominion Freight Line: Valuation More Attractive, But Additional Downside Could Be Near

  • Old Dominion Freight Line faces near-term headwinds from high interest rates, lower freight volumes, and rising costs, but fundamentals remain solid for long-term investors. Despite recent declines, ODFL's dividend is well-covered, free cash flow is strong, and reduced CAPEX enhances future flexibility for buybacks or debt reduction. Valuation remains elevated with a forward P/E above 30x, so I recommend waiting for a further 10-20% price drop before adding shares.
