## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 54.8×** (5-yr avg 25.2×, 3-yr avg 35.5×). Schneider National Inc. trades at 54.8× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 25.2×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 20.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 1.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.1×.
- **Price / book: 2.0×**. The shares trade at 2.0× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 10.2×**. Enterprise value is 10.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 5.1%** (5-yr avg 4.8%). Free cash flow equals 5.1% of the market value, in line with its five-year average of 4.8%. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 1.8%**. The inverse of the P/E: 1.8% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 3.0%**. 3.0% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 1.8%**. 1.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 3.4%**. 3.4% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 4.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 4.3%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 2.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces 2.3% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 7.3%** (3-yr -4.9%/yr, 5-yr 4.5%/yr). Revenue grew 7.3% over the last year, against 4.5% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -10.6%** (3-yr -38.7%/yr, 5-yr -13.1%/yr). Earnings per share fell 10.6%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -3.9%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -3.9% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.13**. Debt is 0.13 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.3×**. It would take 0.3 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Altman Z-score: 4.19**. A Z-score of 4.19 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
