What this transaction means for investors
The broader freight industry is crawling out of a long downturn, but the latest quarter for Knight-Swift showed how uneven that recovery still is. Revenue slipped 0.4% year over year to about $1.86 billion, and reported results swung to a small net loss after $52.9 million in impairment charges tied to brand consolidation. Strip those out, though, and the business remained profitable, posting $50.9 million in adjusted net income and $0.31 in adjusted EPS.
Perhaps more important for long-term investors is cash. Free cash flow reached $763 million in 2025, supported by disciplined capex and strong operating cash generation. The balance sheet remains sturdy with roughly $1.1 billion in liquidity and $7.1 billion in equity, giving management flexibility as capacity tightens and pricing power slowly returns.
Within this portfolio, the move looks less like a loss of conviction and more like risk management. The position still sits at close to $3 million, suggesting continued belief in the cycle while acknowledging near-term volatility.
