Christian Wetherbee has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that indicate a positive outlook for Union Pacific. The company has expressed confidence in achieving its long-term earnings per share (EPS) growth targets, with the potential for high single-digit growth in 2025, which is more optimistic than many anticipated. Additionally, Union Pacific aims to be a leader in operational efficiency within the industry, which could enhance its earnings potential.
Furthermore, the company is exploring growth opportunities through mergers and acquisitions, which could provide additional value to shareholders. Union Pacific is also well-positioned to capitalize on pricing strategies that outpace inflation, supported by strong service offerings. Despite some challenges in international intermodal volumes, the strength in other commodities, particularly coal, suggests a favorable business mix. These factors collectively support a positive investment thesis for Union Pacific.
In another report released on June 5, Bernstein also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $267.00 price target.
