Norfolk Southern Posts Q3 EPS of $3.37
NSC sits 20% above its 52-week low of $277.8.
Summary
Norfolk Southern reported third-quarter EPS of $3.37 and adjusted EPS of $3.62, with revenue of $3.5 billion. Adjusted income from railway operations was $1.22 billion and the adjusted operating ratio was 63.3%, while railway volume rose 3%. Demand for rail service rose during the quarter amid a tighter trucking market. That compares with adjusted EPS of $3.52 in Q2 2026, when revenue hit a record $3.5 billion and beat estimates. The print lands while the company's merger application with Union Pacific is still before the Surface Transportation Board, which rejected requests to dismiss it on September 23.
