What the Analysts think about Knife River
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Knife River stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Knife River stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Second-quarter revenue grew 13%, with double-digit volume growth across materials and mix-adjusted aggregate pricing up 8%. Knife River raised its 2026 revenue guidance to $3.4bn–$3.6bn, suggesting growth is reaching both volumes and pricing. (Knife River Corporation)
The $1.216bn contracting backlog provides near-term visibility: Knife River expects to recognise about $984m within 12 months, and roughly 85% of backlog is tied to publicly funded projects. Backlog was up from $1.032bn at the end of 2025. (SEC)
Four first-half acquisitions costing $184.4m expanded Knife River into Utah and new western Montana markets, while organic projects add capacity. Its planned Sioux Falls quarry has about 70 million tons of reserves and access to two major railroads, supporting a longer-term growth platform. (SEC)
Revenue rose 13% in the second quarter, but net income fell 13% and adjusted EBITDA edged down 1%; net margin also narrowed from 6.1% to 4.7%. The gap shows that stronger sales have not yet translated into higher reported profit. (Knife River Corporation)
Fewer public bid lettings have increased competition, while higher diesel costs and project delays have weighed on margins. Knife River’s September update put second-half contracting margins at 9%–10%, with some Texas and Hawaii work delayed. (Investing.com)
The West segment, which includes Oregon, saw second-quarter revenue fall 9% and EBITDA fall 19% year on year. JPMorgan also sees little near-term improvement in Oregon, Knife River’s largest market, citing weak public funding and demand prospects. (Knife River Corporation, Investing.com)
