PAMT Corporation remains rated 'sell' due to persistent industry headwinds and deteriorating fundamentals. Recent revenue growth is largely driven by fuel surcharges and brokerage/logistics services, masking ongoing weakness in core truckload operations. Profitability metrics show modest improvement, but rising net debt—now $275.9 million—significantly elevates financial risk.
PAMT's Q2 loss per share narrows year over year, while revenues rise 8.9%. Improved truck productivity and logistics revenues are partly offset by higher costs.
