Knight-Swift Transportation (NYSE:KNX) shares gained more than 14% after-hours following the company’s reported Q3 results, with EPS of $0.41 coming in better than the consensus estimate of $0.36.

"Freight demand remains stable at low levels in the truckload market and relatively strong in the less-than-truckload market ("LTL"). Considerable truckload rate and cost pressure continue to mount as the truckload over-supply continues to rationalize and the industry approaches equilibrium,” said CEO David Jackson.
The company expects adjusted EPS for full-year 2023 to be in the range of $2.10-2.20 (from the previous range of $2.10-$2.30), compared to the consensus estimate of 2.07.
