Union Pacific Corporation’s stock surged after the company reported impressive Q4 2024 earnings, with diluted earnings per share of $2.91, exceeding Wall Street’s expectations of $2.79. Although there was a slight shortfall in revenue, primarily due to lower fuel surcharge revenue and an unfavorable business mix, investors responded positively. The company reaffirmed its 2025 guidance, aiming for strong earnings growth and committing to a $3.4 billion capital plan and ongoing stock repurchases. Challenges such as a mixed economic environment and fluctuating coal demand were acknowledged but seemed to be incorporated into their strategic outlook.
