What the data says
An overview of the public data behind UNP.
At $292.87, Union Pacific trades in the upper part of its 52-week range of $215.53 to $315.99, about 7% below the high and roughly 36% above the low. The high sits nearly 47% above the low, so the stock has covered a lot of ground over the past year for a company of its size, with a market capitalization of about $174 billion.
The shares trade at 22.8 times trailing earnings and 20.4 times forward earnings. The lower forward multiple means analysts expect earnings to rise over the coming year. The price-to-book ratio of 7.9 shows the market values the company well above the accounting value of its assets. The business keeps about 29 cents of profit from each dollar of revenue, a wide margin, and revenue grew 15.3% in the latest reported figures. The dividend yield is 1.94%. A beta of 0.95 means the stock has tended to move almost exactly in line with the broader market.
Recent news has centered on the company's third-quarter results. Union Pacific beat estimates, and the reports credited higher volumes and better pricing, with a pre-earnings preview and a long-term investor piece on either side. The rest of the coverage is about rail and freight more broadly: quarterly results from Wabtec and J.B. Hunt, comments on margins at BNSF, the rival western railroad owned by Berkshire Hathaway, and a look at an infrastructure ETF. One headline, about USCB Financial Holdings' earnings, has no clear link to Union Pacific or its industry.
