Heartland Express reported Q4 2025 results on February 9, 2026. The company posted a loss of $0.25 per share, much wider than the $0.07 loss analysts expected, a miss of 243.88%. Revenue was $179.4 million, 6.61% below the $192.1 million estimate. Compared with Q4 2024, the loss per share widened from $0.02, and revenue fell about 26% from $242.6 million.

The longer record shows a shift from profits to losses. Annual EPS was $1.00 in 2021 and $1.01 in 2022, then fell to $0.18 in 2023, a loss of $0.37 in 2024 and a loss of $0.68 in 2025. Heartland has reported a loss in each of the last eight quarters. Revenue peaked at $1,207.4 million in 2023 and declined to $805.7 million in 2025, about 33% lower. The Q4 2025 loss was the deepest in the table. Revenue came in below the estimate in 15 of the last 20 quarters, and EPS beat the estimate 9 times.

The table does not yet include any 2026 quarter. Heartland reported Q1 results between April 21 and May 2 in each of the past five years, so the next row added should cover Q1 2026.
