Description: KNF Knife River November 06, 2025

Knife River Corporation (NYSE: KNF) is a U.S.-based supplier of aggregates-led construction materials and contracting services, organized into Pacific, Northwest, Mountain, Central, and Energy Services segments. Its product suite includes crushed stone, sand, gravel, asphalt, ready-mix concrete, cement, and related building-material merchandise, while its contracting arm delivers heavy-civil construction, paving, site development, and grading for both public-sector infrastructure projects (highways, bridges, local roads) and private-sector developers.

According to the most recent 2023 Form 10-K, the company generated roughly $1.1 billion in revenue with an adjusted EBITDA margin near 10 %-a level that modestly trails the industry average of ~12 % but reflects the higher cost structure of its geographically dispersed operations. Two macro drivers dominate KNF’s outlook: (1) sustained U.S. federal and state infrastructure spending, which the American Society of Civil Engineers rates at a “C-” (indicating under-investment and upside potential for material suppliers) and (2) residential construction activity, which is highly sensitive to mortgage rates; the current 30-year fixed rate of ~6.5 % is a headwind that could dampen demand for sand and gravel in the short term. A third, more granular factor is the company’s strong presence in the Upper Midwest, where population growth and logistics hub expansion have historically delivered a 3-4 % annual increase in aggregate volumes.
