Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• Knight‑Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. announced on Feb. 11, 2026 (reported in an 8‑K filed Feb. 12, 2026) that its board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock.
• This is a $0.02 increase from the prior quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share. The dividend is payable to stockholders of record as of March 6, 2026, and is expected to be paid on March 23, 2026.

Key Details

• Dividend amount: $0.20 per common share (up $0.02, +11.1% vs. prior $0.18).
• Record date: March 6, 2026. Expected payment date: March 23, 2026.
• Filing: Form 8‑K dated Feb. 12, 2026; announcement accompanied by a press release.
• The filing includes the company’s forward‑looking statement caution that future dividends are subject to board approval and business risks.

Why It Matters

• A dividend increase is a direct return of cash to shareholders and signals the board’s willingness to distribute more income to investors at this time.
• For income-focused investors, the raise increases the cash yield per share, but future dividends are not guaranteed and depend on cash flow, financing agreements, and board decisions as disclosed in the filing.
• Investors should consider the dividend change alongside Knight‑Swift’s broader financial results and outlook (in other filings) when assessing the stock for income or total return.
