Covenant shares slide 11.2% after adjusted EPS falls to 42 cents
AI Market Summary
Covenant's quarterly results showed weaker profitability despite higher freight revenue, with adjusted EPS down and combined truckload revenue declining. Expedited segment underperformance and a spike in insurance and claims costs pressured operating metrics and highlighted earnings volatility. The stock's sharp single-day drop reflects near-term investor concern even as management emphasizes a longer-term shift toward contracted, value-added services.
