Norfolk Southern’s Q2 2016 Earnings Review: Top Line Pressure Weighs On Results
Norfolk Southern reported a slight decline in its earnings per share in Q2 2016, with lower costs only partially offsetting the impact of lower revenue on earnings. A sharp decline in coal shipments, as a result of a decline in demand for the commodity from utilities amid soft natural gas prices, and lower fuel surcharge revenue, as a result of a decline in crude oil and diesel prices, drove the decline in the company’s Q2 revenue. However, lower volume-related costs, particularly lower fuel expenses, partially offset the impact of top line headwinds on the company’s earnings.
