Union Pacific (UNP) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Union Pacific's revenue reached $24 billion in 2024, with expectations for a 5% growth in 2025 driven by core pricing gains despite ongoing mix headwinds. The company's focus on leveraging technology to improve workforce productivity resulted in a notable 6% increase in productivity for the quarter, alongside a 2.7% rise in total volumes compared to 2023. Additionally, an initial outlook for 2025 indicates continued strength in key categories such as grain and industrial chemicals, further supporting the positive growth trajectory.
Bears say
Union Pacific's stock outlook is negatively influenced by a significant decline in premium revenue per unit (RPU), which fell approximately 9% year-over-year due to higher international volumes that offset domestic growth. Additionally, the company experienced a 4.2% decline in bulk segment volume, primarily driven by a nearly 20% drop in coal carloads, while forecasts indicate persistent challenges in growth, particularly within intermodal and coal sectors. Furthermore, revenues fell short of projections by $20 million, exacerbated by weaker RPU trends and tough comparisons for international intermodal business, which points to limited potential for improvement in operating ratios.
