CSX Posts Q3 EPS of $0.57
CSX sits 44% above its 52-week low of $33.63.
Summary
CSX reported third-quarter EPS of $0.57, up from $0.54 in Q2 2026, which itself was a 23% year-over-year increase. The quarter brought revenue of $4.02B, up 12% year over year and ahead of estimates on higher fuel surcharges, freight volumes and pricing, with net income of $1.05B. Total volume rose 5% to 1.69 M units, with intermodal volume increasing by 7%. The print follows the October 13 8-K disclosing COO Michael Cory's immediate retirement, a management transition that puts operational execution under scrutiny. Q2 momentum was strong on 10% revenue growth and a new $5B buyback, so the bar was elevated.
