Saia Now Challenged, But Earnings And Price May Rebound Soon
Despite negative EPS revisions and momentum warnings, I see Saia as fundamentally strong and poised for double-digit growth, making it a Buy. Short-term headwinds from recent acquisitions are temporary; Wall Street expects a strong earnings rebound in 2026 and beyond as scale and productivity improve. The recent price slump is industry-wide, but Saia's financial position and terminal expansion position it well for long-term investors.

I'm Not Kidding - These 2 Beaten Stocks Could Double
I believe all investors share the goal of growing wealth while managing risk carefully. Chasing outsized returns can backfire, so balancing risk and reward is essential for long-term success. The market has historically returned around 9-12% annually. To boost potential returns, I explore two cyclical, undervalued stocks with strong upside, focusing on total return rather than dividends. Both companies face short-term challenges but offer compelling long-term prospects tied to favorable industry trends. Their current valuations and market dynamics suggest significant upside if cyclical conditions improve.

Why Goldman Sachs Suddenly Boosted These 3 Trucking Stocks
Most investors develop their own investment ideas so that they understand where and why the price action might impact their portfolio performance once a position is opened. However, sometimes, the market is too quiet or too noisy to always have a clear picture of what is happening behind the scenes.
