BofA Securities analyst Ken Hoexter maintains $Norfolk Southern (NSC.US)$ with a buy rating.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 51.4% and a total average return of 3.7% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Norfolk Southern (NSC.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
The recent growth in Q3-to-date carload, which is up 7.5% year-over-year, exceeds the previous expectation of 6.2%. This increase in volume is anticipated to counterbalance the effects of lower yields/mix. Consequently, there is a projection of an operating ratio improvement by 130 basis points sequentially for Q3. With productivity enhancements and a concentration on volume gains, the company is expected to hasten its earnings improvements.
The macroeconomic backdrop is under scrutiny due to cautious statements from industry peers indicating a more challenging industrial outlook than previously anticipated. Adjustments in analytical models have been made, looking ahead to the year 2026. For Norfolk Southern, significant enhancements in operations management are expected to generate substantial earnings growth extending into 2027, which is believed to be not yet reflected in the current share prices.

美銀證券分析師Ken Hoexter維持$諾福克南方 (NSC.US)$買入評級。
根據TipRanks數據顯示，該分析師近一年總勝率為51.4%，總平均回報率為3.7%。
此外，綜合報道，$諾福克南方 (NSC.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
Q3至今車廂裝載量最近的增長率爲7.5%，同比增長，在這方面超過了之前的6.2%的預期。預計這種成交量的增加將抵消低收益/混合的影響。因此，預計第三季度的運營比率將按照130個點子的順序改善。通過提高生產效率並專注於增加成交量，預計公司將加快盈利改善。
由於行業同行發表謹慎的聲明，暗示宏觀經濟背景正受到審查，行業前景比先前預期更具挑戰性。針對2026年，對分析模型進行了調整。對於諾福克南方，預計經營管理方面的重大改進將爲2027年的可觀盈利增長打下基礎，這被認爲尚未反映在當前股價中。
