此外，綜合報道，$諾福克南方 (NSC.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
截至Q3至今，車輛成交量的增長已超出最初的預期，年增長率現顯示爲7.5%。預計這種增長將平衡外來負荷/混合物的影響，預期運營比率將有所改善，反映出顯著的順序改進。對於諾福克來說，加速盈利的預測得到了顯著的生產力提升和對成交量增長的戰略重視的支持。
對於一級鐵路公司第三季度業績的預期包括特別關注整體經濟環境，尤其是鑑於主要參與者最近發表的謹慎聲明，表明工業預測較之前預期更爲黯淡。關於諾福克南方，人們預期公司近期的運營管理變化將推動重大的改善，這應會導致2027年持續增長的收益每股。預期的增長據信尚未反映在當前的股票估值中。
