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.

根據TipRanks數據顯示，該分析師近一年總勝率為53.0%，總平均回報率為3.2%。
此外，綜合報道，$Knight-Swift Transportation (KNX.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
Knight-Swift被視爲週期初期的受益者，預計將展示隨着季節性改善而實現運營槓桿效應。在維持其短期每股收益估值的同時，2025年的長期每股收益預測已經調整，以反映更加保守的展望。
公司最近的季度表現和早期指引略低於市場共識，可能最初看起來令人沮喪。然而，考慮到季度干擾和預測未考慮週期變化，這些結果可能會實現或超出預期。沒有減少指引，加上管理層對第四季度和未來財年的樂觀表態，可能會讓市場對業務週期的持續感到放心。
Knight-Swift在第三季度達到預期，並保持了與預期和共識一致的第四季度指引。公司預計將通過受益於有利的合同費率來抵消提高的網絡成本，從而在第三季度後實現邊際的順序改善。
