Saia price target raised to $360 from $325 at Benchmark

Benchmark raised the firm’s price target on Saia (SAIA) to $360 from $325 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Saia’s operating ratio improved 330 basis points sequentially despite the lack of a typical second quarter volume ramp, which was better than the firm expected, says the analyst, who believes Saia can leverage the fixed cost infrastructure and increased density from its expanded network as demand improves to generate OR “into the low 80’s eventually.”
