Barclays analyst Eric Morgan maintains $Knight-Swift Transportation (KNX.US)$ with a buy rating, and maintains the target price at $62.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 57.6% and a total average return of 29.0% 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 perceived as a beneficiary during the early cycle. The company's ability to demonstrate operating leverage in light of improving seasonality has been noted. While the short-term and 2024 earnings projections remain intact, expectations for 2025 earnings have been adjusted.
While the company's third-quarter miss and first-quarter guidance slightly underperformed consensus, which might initially appear unfavorable, considering the third-quarter disruptions and the projections not factoring in a cyclical shift, the results should at least meet, if not exceed, expectations. The market could find reassurance in the fact that there was no revision to guidance and might even be buoyed by management's positive commentary regarding the fourth quarter and full-year prospects in relation to the cycle.
Knight-Swift met expectations in the third quarter and maintained fourth-quarter guidance consistent with estimates and consensus expectations. The company is seeing positive contractual rates that help to counterbalance heightened network costs, which suggests that margins are likely to see an improvement following the third quarter.

此外，综合报道，$Knight-Swift Transportation (KNX.US)$近期主要分析师观点如下：
在早期周期中，奈特-斯威夫特被视为受益者。已注意到该公司在季节性改善的情况下表现出运营杠杆作用的能力。尽管短期和2024年的收益预测保持不变，但对2025年收益的预期已经进行了调整。
尽管考虑到第三季度的中断和预测没有考虑到周期性变化，该公司第三季度的失误和第一季度的预期表现略逊于共识，这最初可能显得不利，但业绩至少应达到甚至超过预期。市场可以放心，指导方针没有修订，甚至可能会受到管理层对第四季度以及与该周期相关的全年前景的积极评论的推动。
Knight-Swift在第三季度达到了预期，并维持了与预期和共识预期一致的第四季度指引。该公司看到了正的合同利率，这有助于抵消网络成本的上涨，这表明利润率可能会在第三季度之后有所改善。
