Stock Pick 1/6/2008: KNX

To continue with the totally random walk through the market sectors, today we're looking at the trucking industry!  Knight Transportation (KNX) looks to be the strongest.


I've recently come to realize how powerful the financial strength ratios are.  Just about all the other numbers tend to correlate to them.  In the case of KNX, its quick ratio is 2.40, which is pretty strong.  Elsewhere, it has a 63.7% gross margin, moderately good management effectiveness, average price ratio of 10.16, and a small dividend.  The overall package, which is measured by the financial strength ratios, is good.  A few things could be better in my book, but out of all the trucking stocks, this is the one.  HTLD, or Heartland Express, is a pretty close runner-up.
