Baird analyst Garrett Holland maintains $Knight-Swift Transportation (KNX.US)$ with a buy rating, and maintains the target price at $60.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 53.0% and a total average return of 3.2% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Knight-Swift Transportation (KNX.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Knight-Swift is seen as a beneficiary of the early cycle, with expectations to demonstrate operating leverage on improving seasonality. While maintaining its short-term EPS estimates, the longer-term forecast for 2025 EPS has been adjusted to reflect a more conservative outlook.
The company's recent quarterly performance and early guidance, which slightly fell short of consensus, might initially appear discouraging. However, considering the quarterly disturbances and the projections not accounting for a cycle change, these results are likely to fulfill or surpass expectations. The absence of a reduction in guidance, coupled with management's optimistic statements regarding the fourth quarter and future fiscal year, is likely to reassure the market about the ongoing business cycle.
Knight-Swift met expectations in the third quarter and maintained fourth-quarter guidance consistent with estimates and the general consensus. The company is anticipated to counterbalance elevated network costs with favorable contractual rates, leading to a sequential improvement in margins following the third quarter.

贝雅分析师Garrett Holland维持$Knight-Swift Transportation (KNX.US)$买入评级，维持目标价60美元。
根据TipRanks数据显示，该分析师近一年总胜率为53.0%，总平均回报率为3.2%。
此外，综合报道，$Knight-Swift Transportation (KNX.US)$近期主要分析师观点如下：
Knight-Swift被视为早期周期的受益方，预计将在改善季节性的情况下展现运营杠杆。在维持其短期每股收益估计的同时，2025年的长期预测收益已经调整，以反映更为保守的展望。
公司最近的季度表现和初步指导略低于共识，可能首先会显得令人泄气。然而，考虑到季度扰动以及预测未考虑到周期性变化，这些结果很可能会达到或超出预期。在没有减少指导的情况下，并且管理层对第四季度和未来财年的乐观表态，很可能会让市场对持续的业务周期感到放心。
Knight-Swift在第三季度达到了预期，并保持了符合估计和普遍共识的第四季度指引。预计公司将通过有利的合同费率抵消提高的网络成本，从而在第三季度后实现利润率的顺序改善。
