EVR vs KNX Comparison

Evercore is a leading independent investment banking advisory firm that generates most of its revenue through merger and acquisition and restructuring advisory services, with much smaller capital raising, equities trading, and investment management businesses. Founded in 1995, it has built a reputation for advising on some of the world's largest and most complex transactions. The firm operates globally with a strong presence in the US and Europe, serving corporations, financial sponsors, and government clients. Its business model emphasizes high-touch, conflict-free advice rather than balance sheet lending, allowing it to compete with larger bulge-bracket banks.

Knight-Swift is the largest full-truckload carrier in the US, with a diversified transportation offering. Pro forma for the US Xpress deal, about 82% of revenue derives from Knight's asset-based trucking business, with full truckload (for-hire dry van, refrigerated, and dedicated contract) making up 69% and less than truckload 13%. Truck brokerage and other asset-light logistics services make up 9% of revenue, with intermodal near 6%. Knight's intermodal operations use the Class I railroads for the underlying movement of its shipping containers and include drayage (regional trucking services to and from inland intermodal ramps/terminals). The remainder of revenue reflects services offered to shippers and third-party truckers, including equipment maintenance and leasing.
