UBS has upgraded Knight-Swift Transportation (Truckload Services) to a Buy from neutral, offering an upside of 26%. The bank's new 12-month price target is $66 per share, up from $54. The upgrade was driven by increasing visibility to a supply reduction in the industry and increased spot rates indicating a tightening market.
