Bulls say

CSX reported strong financial performance with revenue nearing $14.5 billion in 2024, driven by a diversified shipment portfolio including coal, chemicals, and intermodal containers. The company experienced a 1% increase in volumes, primarily fueled by growth in intermodal carloads and international shipments, with expectations for further strengthening in the fourth quarter, particularly in December. Positive projections for 2025 suggest merchandise volumes will grow by 1% year-over-year, supported by anticipated industrial production increases and potential gains from service-driven conversions and new industrial development projects.

Bears say

CSX's stock outlook is negatively impacted by a projected decline in 2025 earnings per share (EPS), which has been revised down from $1.95 to $1.86, reflecting less than 2% growth and falling short of previously established targets. The company's management indicated that significant discrete costs will adversely affect first-quarter operating income in 2025, forecasting a decrease of approximately 7.5% compared to the same quarter in 2024. Additionally, sustained lower commodity prices pose a further challenge, contributing to the reduction of estimates for 2026 and 2027 and resulting in a three-year EPS compound annual growth rate at the lower end of the previously communicated guidance.
