Norfolk Southern Corporation (NSC)'s stock performance has been on a roller coaster ride. Despite
freight woes, the corporation’s robust
dividends have kept it in a favorable position, allowing it to outperform competitors on consistently impressive trading days. Its executive leadership team was expanded with the addition of
Brian Barr as Vice President and Chief Mechanical officer, with other members also being added. NSC’s strategic and fiscal prospects look promising, with a
price target raise to $245 and then $286, as attested by major financial institutions such as Stifel Nicolaus, Citigroup, Sanford C. Bernstein and Jefferies Financial Group. Earnings are due to be announced this October, with second quarter results confirming previous operating ratio guidance.
Strategic investments in Alabama look all set to boost NSC’s position in the market. Even with some underperformance episodes, NSC seems to be on an overall upward trajectory. It has also taken action in response to the recent Hurricane disasters, donating heavily to the Red Cross. Lastly, new investments and a potential buybacks plan suggest promising growth and returns for shareholders.
