Heartland Express stock (ISIN US4223471040) was trading at USD 11.28 on Nasdaq on October 7, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 0.44 percent from the prior close. The next earnings date is listed as October 29, 2026, giving the trucking company a near-term reporting checkpoint, according to Bullstory.
October 29 sets the next checkpoint
The scheduled Q3 2026 release is the next dated event for Heartland Express. The company provides short, medium, and long-haul truckload transportation services in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, with its stock listed on Nasdaq under HTLD, according to Stock Analysis.
The October report will be measured against the second-quarter recovery in profitability. That comparison matters because freight demand and pricing can affect revenue before cost efficiency appears in earnings.
Q2 profit returned despite lower revenue
Heartland Express reported USD 184.1 million of revenue in Q2 2026, down 13 percent from Q2 2025, while net income reached USD 10.6 million, an improvement of USD 21.4 million from the prior-year quarter, according to Simply Wall St.
Adjusted for the period comparison, diluted EPS was USD 0.14 in Q2 2026, versus a USD 0.14 loss in Q2 2025. The figures show a sharper improvement in earnings than in sales, making operating discipline a central issue for the next report.
Stock stays below its yearly high
At USD 11.28 on October 7, 2026, the stock stood 32.2 percent below its 52-week high of USD 16.64 and 61.1 percent above its 52-week low of USD 7.00. The session range was USD 11.14 to USD 11.40, with volume of 601,641 shares.
The market capitalization was USD 874.1 million as of October 7, 2026. For investors, the key test is whether the October 29 update can extend the Q2 profit improvement while revenue remains below the year-ago level.
