Special dividends
Payments well outside KNX's regular rate. These are one-offs — they are excluded from the growth figures above, and they are not assumed to recur, so they do not feed the predicted dates.

| Dec 1, 2010 | $0.81 |
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own KNX before the ex-dividend date?
- Yes. You must already hold the shares when trading opens on the ex-dividend date to receive the payment. Buying on the ex-date itself is too late — the seller keeps that dividend. See ex-date vs record date vs payment date for how the dates fit together.

- Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. has historically paid quarterly, across 88 payments since December 2004.
- How much does KNX pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.20 per share, with an ex-date of September 4, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $0.80 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.

- A median of 28 days before the ex-date, across the 36 declarations we hold.
