He sold UNP to buy Wabtec, because the former services only one geography while Wabtec goes everywhere.

(A Top Pick Jun 04/24, Up 11.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with UNP is progressing well.  To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $207) to $230 at this time.

His concern is its 18x forward PE. A railroad stock can grow only so much more than GDP. Pricing power is limited. He needs to see earnings outperform.

DON'T BUY
Union Pacific Corp

Transports haven't seen a tailwind lately. Has the sector bottomed? The timing is tough for transports now.

WATCH
Union Pacific Corp

Been on a downtrend, though fairly priced. Earnings need to beat for shares to also rise. Trades at 18x forward PE and a PEG ratio of 1.7. A tailwind is US capex spending and all those materials that need transporting, like steel.

TOP PICK
Union Pacific Corp
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

UNP is Warren Buffet's  2nd favorite railroad to own (he owns BNSF).  It has paid its dividend for 125 consecutive years.  It is prudently using some cash reserves to aggressively retire debt and buy back shares.  It trades at 9x earnings and supports a ROE of 45%.  The dividend is backed by a payout ratio of 50% of cash flow.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $207, looking to achieve $268 -- upside potential over 17%.  Yield 2.2%

(Analysts’ price target is $267.82)

They just reported: revenues beat though flat for the year, costs are under control, and they beat earnings. Total volumes were up, including fertilizer up 15%, and industrial chemicals 7%. Their report was better than CSX, though guidance was guarded and mixed, including a muted first half of 2024. It's good to buy now.

Great acquisition of Kansas City by CP was a game changer. CNR is the gold standard in North America. US is not in a recession yet, but if it does happen, all the rails will get cheaper. Don't settle for just a 1% differential from the historical average, when you might be able to get it 20% cheaper.

Attractive industry with strong, defensive attributes. Wait. We're coming into a time when there's potential for the economy to weaken, with a big impact on the rails. His preference is CP.

WEAK BUY
Union Pacific Corp

Great industry to be in with consolidation and pricing power. Environmentally friendly. Rails predict the economy. Numbers were down, so UNP anticipates deceleration in economy. All rails will do really well when we come out of the slowdown. He owns CNR.

The CEO has left, but the stock will lost alot of today's gain (on the news), but pounce on that. A great long-term play that he prefers CP.

BUY
Union Pacific Corp
Also likes CSX and Northfolk Southern. At any given time, one is cheaper than the other. Can't decide, but you can't lose with the rails because they're all better now than before.

There's a strong secular tailwind for agriculture as well as capital expenditure to produce greater efficiency. She'd be looking at automation, like Rockwell and Honeywell. Then, how do you move those goods? Look at Union Pacific. There are various ways to play the industrial sector as you move into 2023. She expects capex in private and public levels to pick up in 2023 in the U.S. but also globally even with a (shallow) recession. This is a long-term trend. You can also play this the ETF, GUNR,
