Saia Financial Ratios 2025-2008 | SAIA
Brief overview of Saia's valuation multiples
The review covers five available annual periods spanning 2021 to 2025.
The latest available valuation ratios are P/E 42.13x (median 30.72x), EV/EBITDA 15.62x (median 11.49x), P/S 3.32x (median 3.32x). The multiple basket looks neutral against its history, differing from median levels by roughly 0%.

Current PEG of 2.73x points to a premium over forecast earnings momentum.
