Will CSX Corporation Stock Continue To Rise?
The stock price of CSX Corporation (NYSE: CSX) has seen a rise of over 8% over the last twenty-one trading days, and it is also up a good 38% over the last one year. The recent rise can be attributed to a wider rally in railroad stocks, following strong Q2 for all major companies, including CSX, Norfolk Southern, and Union Pacific. CSX’s revenue of $3.0 billion was better than our forecast of $2.9 billion. Similarly, its earnings of $0.40 per share was comfortably above our forecast of $0.36. The company also closed its acquisition of Quality Carriers in July of this year, and it is expected to add 6% to the company’s top-line this year, while it won’t impact the EPS, given the costs associated with this transaction. Overall, a rebound in the economic growth and intermodal gains due to continued driver shortage in the trucking industry has led to a bullish sentiment for railroad stocks, including CSX.
But now that CSX stock has moved 8% over the last month, will it continue its upward trajectory, or is a fall imminent?
