Union Pacific (ISIN US9078181081) was trading at EUR 242.55 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 9:38 a.m. CEST. Citizens reiterated a Market Outperform rating and a USD 350.00 price target on September 23, 2026, keeping the proposed Norfolk Southern combination central to the investment case.

Second quarter beat expectations

Union Pacific reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 3.41 for the second quarter, compared with USD 3.25 consensus, a USD 0.16 beat. MarketBeat reported the figures on September 23, 2026, including revenue of USD 6.86 billion against USD 6.72 billion consensus.

The revenue result was 11.50 percent above the prior-year quarter, while the quarterly dividend rose to USD 1.42 from USD 1.38. The comparison gives investors two separate signals: pricing and operating execution supported the income result, while the dividend increase raised the direct cash return.

Analysts price in more volume

CNBC reported on September 16, 2026, that UBS upgraded Union Pacific to Buy from Neutral and raised its target to USD 339.00 from USD 310.00. UBS projected intermodal freight volume growth of 3.50 percent year over year in 2027.

Investing.com reported Citizens' USD 350.00 target and identified rejection of the merger proposal, regulatory penalties, rail-economy deterioration and integration execution as risks. The proposed deal with Norfolk Southern therefore adds potential scale while also increasing the range of outcomes around the stock.
