Union Pacific stock (ISIN US9078181081) was trading at EUR 253.30 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026 at 11:51 a.m. CEST, up 1.24 percent versus the Xetra close of October 12, 2026 at EUR 250.20. On October 2, 2026, MarketBeat reported that Susquehanna had cut its Union Pacific price target from USD 345.00 to USD 333.00 while keeping a positive rating.
Three dated developments
On July 23, 2026, MarketBeat said Union Pacific reported USD 6.86 billion in second-quarter revenue and adjusted earnings per share of USD 3.41 versus USD 3.26 consensus. On September 22, 2026, Union Pacific said the Surface Transportation Board had rejected requests to dismiss its Norfolk Southern merger application, a transaction expected to remove more than 2 million truckloads from highways. On October 2, 2026, Susquehanna's target cut to USD 333.00 became the latest dated analyst action.
What does the target cut mean?
The reduction of USD 12.00 equals 3.48 percent from the former target, yet the new USD 333.00 target remained 18.26 percent above the USD 281.57 primary-market quote on October 12, 2026. That contrast leaves the rating positive while lowering the valuation reference.
The second-quarter numbers provide the operating counterweight. Revenue increased 11.50 percent year over year to USD 6.86 billion, and adjusted earnings per share exceeded consensus by USD 0.15, according to MarketBeat. The next test is whether that earnings strength holds as the proposed merger continues through regulatory review.
Results date sets the next test
Union Pacific scheduled its third-quarter 2026 results for October 22, 2026 at 7:45 a.m. ET and its conference call for 8:45 a.m. ET. The release will show whether revenue growth, adjusted earnings per share and operating efficiency can support the valuation despite the lower analyst target.
Price and market position
The USD 333.00 target sits above the USD 281.57 NYSE quote from October 12, 2026, while the 52-week range was USD 215.53 to USD 315.99. Union Pacific had a USD 167.3 billion market capitalization on October 12, 2026, and the company is a freight railroad operating across 23 states.
