What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Our framework reads OVERVALUED: it trades above our $184.66 fair value estimate, moderate competitive moat, 10.40% revenue growth.
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-08-20 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. The price runs 9.7% above the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 22 covering, consensus Hold. The average target sits +16% from the screen price.
Reading the gap · Our more conservative model reads it as fully-to-richly valued here, while the Street is more bullish: a quality-at-a-fair-price name rather than a deep-value one.
Price History & Projections
Where it has been, where the models see it going. History from market close data; projection points are our fair-value estimates and third-party analyst targets, dated to the 2026-08-20 screen.

The Business, in Plain Words
Trucking loads shrink yet the price keeps rising
Picture a freight yard where trailers sit a little longer between runs. Old Dominion moves less-than-truckload cargo across the United States with solid margins and a moderate moat, yet revenue has already slipped 3 percent while the shares trade at 36 times forward earnings.
That multiple sits well above what the numbers support. Our fair value sits 22 percent lower than the current price, and the market's hold rating with a $234 median target simply echoes the same stretched valuation. Strong 23 percent ROE and 18 percent profit margins cannot offset the lack of growth in a business that still depends on cyclical volumes.
The real risk is paying peak prices for a cyclical operator whose top line is already contracting. Ethical checks clear, but the valuation does not. Analysis, not advice.
