Union Pacific: Solid Fundamentals, Attractive Valuations, And Merger Optionality Should Drive Upside
Union Pacific's revenue outlook is supported by strong bulk and industrial demand, disciplined pricing, and long-term intermodal investments, with potential upside from the Norfolk Southern merger adding $1.75B in synergies. Operating leverage, tech-driven productivity gains, and consistent above-inflation pricing support industry-leading margins, with an additional $1B in cost savings possible from the merger. Trading below its historical multiple with ~10% EPS growth and a 2.5% dividend yield, UNP offers solid long-term returns even without the merger, while M&A approval provides meaningful optional upside.
