Universal Logistics Reports Weak Q4 Results, Declares Dividend

An announcement from Universal Logistics ( (ULH) ) is now available.

Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc., based in Warren, Mich., reported sharply lower fourth-quarter 2025 results on March 13, 2026, as soft market conditions and underperformance in its intermodal segment weighed on earnings. Consolidated operating revenue fell to $385.4 million from $465.1 million a year earlier, net income dropped to $3.7 million from $20.2 million, and operating margin compressed to 4.5% from 8.2%, despite relatively stable performance in contract logistics and trucking.

Segment results highlighted the company’s shifting mix, with contract logistics revenue down 12.6% to $268.6 million largely due to the completion of a major specialty project in 2024, intermodal revenue sliding 27.9% to $52.7 million alongside deeper operating losses, and trucking revenue declining 23.6% to $64.1 million even as per-load pricing improved. Universal ended 2025 with $26.8 million in cash, $10.4 million in marketable securities and $802.3 million in debt, and its board underscored ongoing capital returns by declaring a quarterly cash dividend of $0.105 per share, payable on April 3, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 23, 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (ULH) stock is a Hold with a $15.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Universal Logistics stock, see the ULH Stock Forecast page.
