Neutral

Reason

JPMorgan initiated coverage of Knife River with a Neutral rating and $83 price target. The firm says Knife is a vertically integrated aggregates and construction materials company with a footprint across 14 Western and Central U.S. states. It believes a lack of near- to medium-term visibility, lower free cash flow conversion relative to peers, no expectations for returning cash to shareholders, and the "show me" aspect of its margin improvement initiatives warrant a Neutral rating.

Equal Weight -> Overweight

Reason

Wells Fargo analyst Timna Tanners upgraded Knife River to Overweight from Equal Weight with an unchanged price target of $75. The firm cites valuation for the upgrade following the stock's underperformance relative to peers in recent weeks. While Oregon's governor has not signed its transport bill, this is imminent and not meaningful to an expected mid-2026 state recovery, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Wels believe concerns over stagnant road spending in Oregon are overdone.

Outperform

Reason

Oppenheimer lowered the firm's price target on Knife River to $100 from $120 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm believes Q3 is unlikely to show upside, owing to continued funding issues in Oregon and wet weather in the Midwest/Northwest. The Oregon Senate recently passed a $4.3B transportation bill, which was roughly one-third of the size of the $11.7B broader transportation package that failed to make it to a vote earlier this year. In other regions, demand remains solid, and Knife River's backlog is currently $1.3B, Oppenheimer adds.

Reason

DA Davidson lowered the firm's price target on Knife River to $95 from $105 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm is reducing its 2025-26 estimates to reflect weather-related challenges, including where Strata operates, and the consideration of potential lingering market pressure in Oregon - the company's largest market, the analyst tells investors in a research note. DA Davidson still sees the eventual stabilizing of Oregon market trends and benefits of healthy broader end market budgets as positives for the stock.

Overweight

Reason

Wells Fargo analyst Gabe Hajde raised the firm's price target on Knife River to $97 from $96 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. Significant rain and Oregon project delay issues drove meaningfully lower construction activity in Knife River territories during Q2, impacting results, the firm notes. However, the backlog is at a record level and the M&A engine humming along.

Reason

RBC Capital analyst Anthony Codling initiated coverage of Knife River with an Outperform rating and $129 price target. The firm says Knife River "is David compared to the Goliaths of Martin and Vulcan, and is agile, nimble and knows how to handle aggregates." It sees the company growing EBITDA margin from 16% to 20%. A change in mix coupled with margin improvement will deliver the 20% and that the target is consistent with Knife River's public statements of aggregates-led growth, focusing on higher value contracting and benchmarking and operational excellence, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
