CSX Corporation: Margin Rebound And Capital Returns Drive Value
CSX
Published: September 09, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

I reaffirm my Buy rating on CSX, as operational improvements and logistics transformation outweigh short-term earnings softness and market disappointment over no merger deal. My DCF model and market multiples show CSX remains undervalued, with about 10% upside potential and attractive total return when including dividends and buybacks. CSX's infrastructure projects, stable cash flow, and effective cost controls position it for margin recovery and double-digit profit growth by 2026.

CSX
Published: July 24, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

CSX Corporation's Q2 earnings were mixed, with revenue down 3.4% year-over-year but operational efficiency improving sequentially.
