Norfolk Southern Corp. has seen
gains in its stock price even though it's been reported to underperform the market overall. Despite selling activity by Blair William & Co. IL and Waters Parkerson & CO. LLC, several other institutional investors have purchased shares, signaling a mixed market sentiment.
CEO termination and misconduct investigation have created a swirl of controversy disrupting the company. However, the Board unanimously elected
Mark R. George as its new president and CEO, aiming to stabilize the firm. The company declared its quarterly
dividend, appealing to income-seeking investors. Despite
Q2 stock performance being underwhelming, it's been reported that volume gains are expected, catalyzed by productivity improvements and management reshuffling. Internal changes also include naming of
Anil Bhatt as the chief information and digital officer. It has garnered market attention with its strategic investments in Alabama, and roll-out of new initiatives to drive productivity and accountability. With most recent financial results coming in line with expectations, the company is still largely a favorite amongst institutional investors.
