Jason Seidl’s rating is based on a combination of factors that suggest a balanced outlook for CSX. In the short term, there are concerns about cost risks and a competitive pricing environment, with mixed signals from end-markets. However, regulatory changes are anticipated to provide a favorable backdrop for the company.
Looking further ahead, CSX has several initiatives that promise long-term benefits, such as a robust industrial development pipeline. Although current sentiment on near-term improvements is limited, projects like the Howard Street Tunnel and Blueridge Subdivision are progressing, with potential impacts on the network. Additionally, opportunities in double stack volume and auto onshoring are expected to support growth by 2026. Overall, while there are challenges, the long-term prospects and regulatory tailwinds justify a Hold rating.

In another report released on May 16, Bank of America Securities also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $33.00 price target.
