Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Cargo Ground Transportation is in recovery. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
The reason to own it still holds.

Knight-Swift's truckload pricing gains have to keep compounding to justify the price. Revenue grew 14.2% year over year in the latest quarter. The company also beat earnings estimates by 10.7%. It trades at 34 times earnings versus a 23 times peer median. The price reflects less growth than we forecast. A cut in guidance would be a meaningful negative. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability near 22%. Peer multiples imply a price about 19% above where it trades. Our read remains intact.
