Knight-Swift Transportation (KNX) Stock Analysis & Forecast
Sep 28 close
$63.55−0.12 (−0.2%)
Gekko Brief
AI summaryThis week's coverage of Knight-Swift centers on stock positioning rather than new corporate developments, with one piece assessing whether rising EPS estimates make KNX attractive at current levels and another comparing its value proposition against peer Saia. Both pieces concern how the stock is valued relative to its sector rather than any specific results, guidance or regulatory update.
KNX closed at $63.55, down 0.2%, with the price sitting between its 50-day average of $69.54 and its 200-day average of $64.86, reflecting a mixed trend picture. The stock has fallen 7.8% over one month and 18.7% over three months, though it remains up 14.4% over six months and 62.4% over the past year. The GekkoIndex reads 67.3, placing KNX in the Accumulation zone, up 3.5 over the past five sessions. Price sits 2.2% above Gekko Fair Value of $62.17.
Knight-Swift next reports earnings on 21 October 2026 after the close, 22 days away and within a typical 20-trading-day holding window; its last report on 22 July showed EPS of $0.63 against a $0.49 estimate, with shares reacting -5.7% despite the beat. Seasonality over the next 20 trading days has averaged 3.7% across 5 years, rising in 3 of them. No insider, Congress or unusual options activity appears in the current windows, though two Trailblazer holders are noted among smart-money categories.

Last earnings call, Jul 22, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- Knight-Swift reported stronger-than-expected second quarter 2026 results driven by pricing and network efficiencies across asset-based businesses. Consolidated revenue ex-fuel increased 5.5% year-over-year, adjusted operating income rose ~45% YoY, adjusted EPS grew 80% YoY to $0.63, and the consolidated adjusted operating ratio improved 240 bps to 91.4%. Truckload revenue ex-fuel rose 2.8% with revenue per loaded mile up 5.5% and a 360 bps Truckload AOR improvement to 91%. Logistics revenue grew 8.9% but load count fell 16.4% as the segment prioritized profitable loads; gross margin compressed. Intermodal delivered strong growth with revenue up 34.9% and meaningful operating ratio improvement. Management highlighted accelerating contract pricing (double-digit gains in recent bids), improving realized revenue per mile (especially in June), reduced deadhead, and disciplined capacity deployment. Key drivers include supply-constrained market dynamics, tender rejection rates, and regulatory actions (Montgomery ruling, FMCSA/DoT enforcement) that could remove lower-quality capacity and favor asset-based carriers. Management emphasized investments in driver recruiting/training (academy network), use of AI and tools for recruiting and pay optimization, and cost/culture discipline to convert market tailwinds into earnings.
- Guidance
- Third-quarter revenue (ex-fuel) guidance: up mid-single digits year-over-year. Management expects continued rate momentum into Q3 with many contract rate improvements taking effect in July and August; however, some seasonal moderation in project/spot activity is expected in July/August with potential strengthening into September and into Q4. Truck count is guided to be relatively stable sequentially but lower than the prior year. Management noted fuel is an unpredictable P&L line that could be a headwind or benefit into Q3. No formal multi-quarter or annual guidance beyond Q3 was given.
- Risks flagged
- Regulatory and litigation risk stemming from the Montgomery ruling (insurance market disruptions, reduced broker insurance capacity, introduction of underwriting exclusions tied to carrier vetting), fuel price volatility, driver supply constraints, potential increases in driver pay pressure, and operational execution risks during bid churn and network rebalancing. Macro demand remains uncertain (supply-driven tightening currently, with demand improvement described as nascent).
