The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- ODFL closes below its 50-day average ($180.81), and the 50-day sits below the 200-day ($201.67): on both averages the chart reads as a downtrend.
- At $164.92, ODFL is 34.6% below its 1-year high of $252.03, set on June 9, 2026, and 30.9% above its 1-year low of $126.01 (November 20, 2025).
- Over the past month ODFL fell 9.2%, from $181.65 to $164.92.
- ODFL trades at 29.6x its last twelve months of earnings and 24.4x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 21.2% higher.
- ODFL's 30-day volatility, 38.0% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 2.4%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 1.15: over five years of monthly returns, ODFL moved about 1.15% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- A close above the 50-day average, $180.81 (+9.6%), would turn the read to a rebound; an uptrend also needs the 50-day to climb 11.5% to cross the 200-day at $201.67.
- A close above $252.03 (+52.8%) would be a new 1-year high; below $126.01 (−23.6%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for ODFL, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
