Is Knife River Corporation overvalued?
Knife River Corporation carries a Smart Value Score of 59/100 (Grade C+), which we rate Hold. That score blends growth, quality, and valuation into one read.

What is the price target of Knife River Corporation (KNF)?
The 12-month analyst consensus target is $104.11, about 21.5% above the current $85.68. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.
What is the intrinsic value of Knife River Corporation (KNF)?
Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $42.88, a -88.0% margin of safety versus today's $85.68. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A negative reading means the price is running ahead of that conservative estimate, leaving little downside cushion if growth slows.
What is Knife River Corporation's revenue?
Knife River Corporation's trailing twelve-month revenue is $3.20B. Revenue scale anchors the valuation multiples and shows whether growth is reaching the top line, so it is best read alongside margin and growth trends to see if that revenue is getting more profitable over time.
Altman Z-Score?
Knife River Corporation's Altman Z-Score is 2.20, which places it in the grey zone. The Altman Z-Score gauges bankruptcy risk from profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency, and a higher reading points to lower financial distress risk.
