KNIGHT KEVIN P Sell
Executive Chairman
30,000 shares
$1,830,087
@ $61.00
Significance 4/10

Executive Chairman Kevin P Knight sells 30,000 KNX shares at $61.00; stock has fallen to $59.20 post-transaction

Kevin P Knight, Executive Chairman of Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc., sold 30,000 shares (30.0K shares) on 2026-02-20 at $61.00, reducing his stake from 1,335,347 shares (1.34M shares) to 1,305,347 shares (1.31M shares), a -2.2% reduction in holdings. The sale occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $61.70, and the current price has since declined to $59.20, representing a -4.0% move from the 52-week high. While Knight's cross-ticker track record shows mixed outcomes (50.00% well-timed rate on 9 prior sells with an average 90-day return of -4.2%), his at-ticker history provides limited signal: three separate sales on 2026-02-18, one on 2026-02-17, and one on 2025-12-09 (which showed +11.5% 30-day return but no measurable 90-day outcome). The company's fundamentals show elevated valuation (P/E of 105.71) relative to modest growth (annual revenue growth of +0.8%, latest quarter revenue $1.9B with net income of only $7.9M), suggesting the stock may be pricing in expectations that have not yet materialized operationally.

KNIGHT KEVIN P Sell
Executive Chairman
70,000 shares
$4,200,731
@ $60.01
Significance 5/10

Executive Chairman Kevin P Knight sells 70,000 KNX shares for $4.2M at $60.01 average (4 transactions, Feb 17-18)

Kevin P Knight, Executive Chairman of Knight-Swift Transportation, executed 4 separate sales totaling 70,000 shares ($4.2M) over two days at an average price of $60.01, reducing his holdings by 5.0% to 1.34M shares. The sales occurred near the 52-week high of $60.26, with stock currently at $59.20 (+7.5% over 30 days, +34.0% over 90 days). Across his same-ticker history at KNX, Knight's prior 5 sells show mixed timing: 2 of 4 measurable outcomes were well-timed (stock declined after), while others including a July 2023 sale saw steep 90-day declines of -18.1%. His broader cross-ticker track record shows 50% timing success on 5 prior sells (90d well-timed rate), with average 90-day returns of -4.2%, though recent activity within the past 3 months at KNX in December 2025 captured +11.5% upside in 30 days. Against weak fundamentals—P/E of 105.71, net income of $7.9M on $1.9B revenue, and minimal annual growth of +0.8%—the current sale near recent peaks warrants tracking to assess whether the stock sustains recent momentum or reverses.

KNIGHT KEVIN P Sell
Executive Chairman
35,000 shares
$1,785,420
@ $51.01
Significance 5/10

KNX: Executive Chairman Kevin P Knight sells 35,000 shares ($1.8M) at $51.01; stock down 15.3% from 52-week high.

Kevin P Knight, Executive Chairman, sold 35,000 shares at $51.01 on 2025-12-09, reducing his holdings from 1.44M shares to 1.41M shares (-2.4%). The sale occurred at a price that is now 15.3% below the 52-week high of $58.80, and the current price of $49.78 is below the transaction price. His prior trades at KNX show mixed timing results: 2 of 4 prior sells were well-timed (stock subsequently declined), while 2 were poorly timed (stock subsequently rose); the 90-day return from his most recent KNX sale (2024-11-13) was -3.1%, indicating that prior transaction was followed by a stock decline. The company's elevated P/E of 56.57 and modest net income of $7.9M relative to $1.9B revenue suggests thin profitability, which may inform valuation-dependent trading decisions by management.

COL DOUGLAS L Buy
5,000 shares
$226,830
@ $45.37
Significance 4/10

Director COL DOUGLAS L buys 5,000 KNX shares at $45.37; stock down -22.0% from 52-week high.

COL DOUGLAS L, a director, purchased 5,000 shares of Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. at $45.37 on March 13, 2025, representing an inaugural position in the stock with $226,830.00 in committed capital. This buy occurs when KNX is trading -22.0% from its 52-week high of $59.60 and has declined -13.6% over the prior 30 days, suggesting the purchase occurred during a period of relative weakness. However, the stock's elevated P/E of 63.73 and recent downward momentum warrant scrutiny; while the insider's cross-ticker track record shows a 100% win rate on 1 prior buy with an average 90d return of +25.1%, this is a new position with no specific KNX-level precedent to establish pattern reliability. The purchase is modest relative to the company's $7.5B market cap and the insider's overall trading history, providing limited inference about conviction at the company level.

KNIGHT KEVIN P Sell
Executive Chairman
29,779 shares
$1,702,960
@ $57.19
Significance 7/10

KNX Executive Chairman Kevin Knight sells entire 29,779 share position for $1.7M at $57.19

Kevin Knight, Executive Chairman of Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc., liquidated his entire holding of 29,779 shares on 2024-11-13 at $57.19 per share, generating $1,702,959.76 and reducing his post-transaction holdings to zero. At his prior sales at this ticker, Knight achieved a 33.33% well-timed rate across 90-day windows (1 of 3 prior trades), with mixed results ranging from +3.5% to -18.1% in the 90-day period after each sale. The current stock price of $55.91 sits 7.3% below the 52-week high of $60.31, though it has risen 8.5% over the past 30 days. Fundamental headwinds include negative annual revenue growth of -3.9%, a notably elevated P/E of 243.09, and quarterly net income of only $30.5M against $1.9B in revenue. The complete liquidation of the CEO's stake warrants scrutiny as a significant capital structure change, particularly given the company's elevated valuation multiples and declining top-line trajectory.

KNIGHT KEVIN P Sell
Executive Chairman
75,000 shares
$3,828,682
@ $51.05
Significance 5/10

Kevin P. Knight (Executive Chairman) sold 75,000 KNX shares in 2 separate transactions for $3.8M (avg $51.05/share)

Executive Chairman Kevin P. Knight executed 2 separate sales totaling 75,000 shares for $3,828,682.50, reducing his holdings by 5.0% to 1,422,360 shares. The sales occurred at $50.33 on 2024-08-02 and $51.53 on 2024-08-05, with a blended average price of $51.05, slightly below the current price of $52.53. His prior sale at KNX in July 2023 experienced a 90-day decline of -18.1%, and his cross-ticker track record shows all prior open-market sells were well-timed (100.00% rate) with a 90-day average return of -18.1%, indicating a pattern of selling before downturns. KNX fundamentals are stressed: net income of $20,300,000 on revenue of $1,846,654,000 yields a P/E of 125.07, and annual revenue contracted 3.9% year-over-year, signaling operational headwinds that may frame the timing of this reduction.
