$308.53+5.10 (+1.7%)

Gekko Brief

AI summaryNov 4 close

Union Pacific shares have been choppy this week, trading between roughly $303.43 and $308.53 amid continued commentary on its record quarterly results and valuation. A technical analyst at Phases & Cycles noted the stock formed a two-stage base and broke out to a 52-week high of $315.99, while other coverage questioned whether shares trade at a premium to cash flow and whether the company can sustain its record performance given rising fuel costs and mixed customer service scores. A filing also showed Aware Super increased its UNP holdings during the third quarter.

UNP closed at $308.53, up 1.7%, sitting above both its 50-day average of $287.30 and 200-day average of $271.57, consistent with a supportive longer-term trend. The GekkoIndex reads 47.4, placing it in the Neutral zone. Against this, Gekko Fair Value stands at $254.47, meaning the current price sits 21.2% above that level.

Union Pacific's next earnings report is scheduled for 26 January 2027, 82 days out and beyond a typical 20-trading-day holding window. No insider, Congress, or unusual options activity appears in the respective 90-day and 30-day windows. Seasonality data show the next 20 trading days have historically averaged a 5.7% gain over 5 years, rising in 5 of those years, which is worth noting alongside the wide gap to Gekko Fair Value.

Last earnings call, Jul 23, 2026 AI summary

What they said
UNP reported record Q2 2026 financial results with net income of $2 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.41. Operating revenue grew 12% to $6.9 billion, with freight revenue also up 12% to $6.5 billion, driven by 2% volume growth and a $460 million fuel surcharge tailwind. Operating ratio improved to 59.2%, roughly 10 basis points better year-over-year on a core basis. Cash from operations rose 21% to $5.5 billion. Eight consecutive quarters of record workforce productivity helped offset wage inflation.
Guidance
Management now expects full-year compensation per employee to increase approximately 6%, up from prior estimates. Core pricing continues to exceed inflation dollars. Management expressed confidence in sustaining productivity gains despite wage and benefit cost pressures.
