Deutsche Bank has issued a bullish catalyst call on Saia, predicting the trucking and transportation stock is poised to rally. Analyst Richa Harnain and his team view Saia's upcoming August tonnage update and third-quarter earnings results as potential catalysts for the shares to push higher. Harnain noted that Saia's 8% volume-growth forecast is above expectations, and historical precedent shows Saia has outperformed peers more than 70% of the time following GRI-related volume disruptions. He also stated that Saia's cost-per-shipment growth since 2023 has been broadly in line with key peers, suggesting the investment debate centers on pricing recovery rather than a structural cost disadvantage. Deutsche Bank has set Q3 estimates for Saia ahead of consensus due to better pricing execution and volume growth, and expects evidence of sustained revenue-per-shipment improvement to lead to a more constructive view on the stock.
