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.

KNX’s case rests on improving truckload pricing, margins, and operating efficiency as revenue growth accelerates. Revenue growth rose from 1.4% to 12.6%, then 14.2%; Q3 earnings beat estimates. KNX trades at 33× P/E versus a 22× peer median. Despite that premium, the price reflects less growth than our forecast. A 24% next-quarter miss probability and weak sector trends threaten the recovery. The 33× multiple must be earned if pricing or margins disappoint. Peer multiples imply a price about 19% above where it trades; our read remains intact.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-30. KNX is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
