CSX (CSX) Stock

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / February 1, 2025 / The Schall Law Firm, a national firm specializing in shareholder rights, is looking into claims from investors of CSX Corporation ("CSX" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:CSX) regarding possible violations of securities laws. The investigation is centered on whether the Company made false or misleading statements and/or did not share important information with investors.

CSX Corporation is experiencing some short-term challenges with revenue and profit margins in FY25 because of reduced coal volumes and fuel surcharges, but they anticipate faster growth in 2026. The Howard Street Tunnel project and the trend of bringing jobs back to the U.S. are expected to increase volumes and improve efficiency, which will support long-term growth. With its stock currently trading at a lower price, CSX presents an attractive opportunity for medium-term investors, as they expect an increase in valuation and earnings per share growth starting in 2026.

CSX (NYSE: CSX) has just announced its Q4 results, showing that its revenue fell short of expectations while its earnings matched what analysts predicted. The company generated $3.54 billion in revenue and adjusted earnings of $0.42 per share, compared to the expected figures of $3.57 billion and $0.42.

I am changing my recommendation for CSX from buy to hold because of expected short-term earnings challenges, even though there have been improvements in operations and the company has good long-term growth potential. In the fourth quarter of 2024, CSX experienced a 4% drop in revenue mainly due to falling coal revenue and reduced fuel surcharges, although intermodal volume increased by 4%. While there are positive long-term opportunities in intermodal growth and industrial development, short-term issues like rising infrastructure costs and weak earnings will likely keep the stock price stable.

Joe Hinrichs, the president and CEO of CSX, mentioned that he expects an increase in demand for thermal coal as the cost-effectiveness of using it shifts.

CSX's earnings in the fourth quarter are negatively affected by a drop in fuel surcharge and coal income.

CSX Corp. announced its fourth-quarter financial results on Thursday, which showed a mix of positive and negative outcomes.
