About Union Pacific

Union Pacific Corporation operates one of the largest freight railroads in North America, connecting 23 western U.S. states to the global economy. The company transports a diversified mix of commodities across bulk (grain, fertilizer, food, coal & renewables), industrial (chemicals, plastics, metals, minerals, forest products, energy), and premium (automotive, intermodal) segments. Union Pacific is publicly traded on the NYSE under the ticker UNP. The company has a pending acquisition of Norfolk Southern Corporation, which is subject to Surface Transportation Board approval and would create America's first transcontinental railroad. Union Pacific emphasizes operational efficiency, pricing discipline, and sustainable transportation, positioning trains as the most environmentally responsible mode of freight movement. Updated

A 6.07% single-session move is rare for a $176 billion railroad, and it follows this morning's Q3 earnings beat. Keep an eye on whether the shrunken buyback pace can sustain the rally.

A 5.4% jump to $294.40 is an outsized day for a $175 billion railroad, and it follows this morning's Q3 earnings beat. The question now is whether shareholders stay patient with a sharply reduced buyback.

EPS

Revenue
$7.20B
est $7.12B+1.1%

Intermodal revenue jumped 27%, enough to beat on both lines and extend the EPS beat streak to five straight quarters. Higher fuel prices weighed on the operating ratio, yet management still affirmed high-single-digit EPS growth for 2026, with CFO Jennifer Hamann retiring in early 2027 and the Norfolk Southern review still pending.

Quarterly EPS — reported vs estimate
Union Pacific's third quarter results demonstrate our ability to safely deliver the service we sold to our customers while efficiently handling six percent volume growth. We executed at a consistently high level, enabling record financial results and further reinforcing our position as the industry leader. We look forward to the upcoming steps of the Surface Transportation Board's merger review process and to delivering the benefits of America's first transcontinental railroad for our customers.

Record quarterly results give Vena a stronger hand heading into the Surface Transportation Board's review of the Norfolk Southern tie-up, the real swing factor for the $171 billion railroad. Volume growth is doing the heavy lifting while regulators set the timeline.

A 15% revenue jump is rare for a mature rail network, and Union Pacific beat on every line with an adjusted operating ratio of 58.8%. FY26 guidance is the next swing factor as the Norfolk Southern merger moves through the STB.
