OMAHA, Neb. & ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP) and Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC) today enhanced their merger application by offering customer protections that go beyond those provided in any prior rail merger.

I rate Union Pacific a buy as service improvements are driving volume gains, margin expansion, and higher earnings. UNP's domestic intermodal growth, improved car velocity, and higher workforce productivity underpin a positive investment thesis. Management raised FY2026 EPS growth guidance to high single digits, with a target share price of ~$350 at 23.6x forward P/E.
Union Pacific has delivered a 40% total return since July 2025, far outpacing the S&P 500. UNP's Q2 2026 results showed 12% YoY revenue growth, strong pricing power, and operating leverage through productivity gains. Management guides for high single-digit EPS growth, supported by domestic intermodal, petrochemicals, and U.S. reindustrialization tailwinds.
I prioritize a TOLL+M investment model—tangible assets, oligopoly advantages, low incremental CapEx, durable cash flows, and macro tailwinds—to build resilient portfolios. Jamie Dimon highlights that even with 2% inflation, 10-year yields should remain above 4.0-4.5% due to risk premiums, supporting my 'run-it-hot' thesis. The S&P 500 prices in a 'good outcome' with little margin of safety; I see greater opportunity in selective stock picking over broad index exposure.
