Union Pacific Corporation (UNP) recently received an analyst upgrade from Evercore ISI to Outperform, with a slight price target increase to $262, due to its strong volume growth, robust margins, and discounted valuation. The railroad industry, including Union Pacific, is now regaining freight from truckers as shrinking trucking capacity and rising road rates make rail more competitive. A potential merger application in about six weeks could further boost UNP’s growth prospects.
