Thursday, May 16, 8:46 AM Norfolk Southern (NSC) extends the expiration date of its exchange offer for $600M of senior notes due in 2023 to May 22. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, May 2, 2:42 PM Coal demand is set to pick up more than some expect, Morgan Stanley predicts, and suggests several stocks that will benefit. The firm upgrades Consol Energy (CNX +4.4%) based on CNX’s low-cost, high quality coal and gas assets, and its focus on shareholder returns. Also well-positioned: Arch Coal (ACI), rails CSX and Norfolk Southern (NSC), plus utilities NRG, Exelon (EXC) and Calpine (CPN). 4 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas]
Tuesday, April 23, 4:21 PM Norfolk Southern (NSC): Q1 EPS of $1.22 beats by $0.05. Revenue of $2.74B (-2% Y/Y) in-line. Shares +0.3% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
Tuesday, April 23, 1:33 PM Norfolk Southern Corp. (NSC) declares $0.50/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 2.64%. For shareholders of record May 03. Payable June 10. Ex-div date May 01. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
Tuesday, April 23, 12:10 AM Notable earnings after Tuesday’s close: AAPL, ACC, AMGN, AWAY, BCR, BRCM, CREE, DV, EW, FBC, FTI, HA, HBI, HLIT, HTS, IRBT, ITC, JNPR, LIFE, NBR, NFX, NSC, OI, OII, OMI, PACB, PLCM, PNRA, RFMD, RHI, T, UIS, USNA, VMW, WRB, YUM, ZIXI Comment! [Earnings]

Wednesday, April 17, 9:59 AM Railroad stocks are mild under-performers after CSX Corporation (CSX -0.8%) issues a soft outlook on demand for coal transport. The company sees relatively flat earnings in 2013 before 10% to 15% growth is seen in 2014 and 2015. Sector watch: NSC -1.6%, UNP -1.3%, CNI -1.2%, CP -1.5%. 2 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
Thursday, April 4, 8:06 AM Bernstein is out with a warning on the railroad sector, saying Q1 rail volume was a disappointment. The firm expects Canadian National (CNI), Union Pacific (UNP), and Norfolk Southern (NSC) to miss earnings estimates and CSX (CSX) to only match targets. 7 Comments [Consumer]
Wednesday, March 27, 2:29 PM Are railroad stocks (KSU, UNP, NSC, GWR, PWX, CNI, BNI) ready to stay on track to see even higher levels? Despite valuations that are getting stretched after a broad sector rally, a compelling case can be made that shares will keep motoring higher. The industry will pour $14B into improvements this year and freight demand is forecast to soar 50% by 2050. The stat that makes the bull case all by itself: Trains can move a ton of freight about 500 miles on one gallon of fuel - an efficiency rate 3X or 4X better than trucks. 9 Comments [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
Monday, March 25, 5:57 PM Railroads are the critical link behind the boom in North American oil production from shale fields beyond the reach of existing pipelines, and Raymond James suggests 21 stocks likely to benefit from the trend: CNI, CP, KSU, NSC, CSX, UNP, BTE, CNQ, ARII, TRN, GMT, PBF, DK, TSO, TLLP, GEL, NRGY, GLP, CSCTF.PK, MEGEF.PK, STPJF.PK. (earlier) 3 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas]
Monday, February 11, 11:00 AM A bullish piece in Barron's on the prospects for CSX (CSX +3%) appears to be tipping sentiment positive for several railroad sector peers. Though a boom in coal demand isn't expected, the rate of decline in shipments is already slowing and could reverse itself in the next year which bodes well for the railroad industry. Advancers: NSC +2.0%, CP +1.3%, UNP +1.1%. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
Tuesday, January 22, 4:07 PM Norfolk Southern (NSC): Q4 EPS of $1.3 beats by $0.1. Revenue of $2.7B (-4% Y/Y) beats by $0.04B. Shares +1.6% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, On the Move]
Tuesday, January 22, 3:30 PM Commercial shipping traffic on the Mississippi River was halted at Granite City, Illinois after a vessel struck one of the Army Corp of Engineers locks on the river. The low level of several rivers in the Midwest has helped stoke up extra demand for railroad carriers as an alternative for transport. 1 Comment [Consumer]
