With a market cap of $73.6 billion, Norfolk Southern Corporation (NSC) is a leading transportation company that operates one of the largest freight rail networks in the eastern United States. Through its subsidiary, Norfolk Southern Railway Company, it provides rail transportation for a wide range of raw materials, intermediate products, and finished goods, including agricultural, chemical, industrial, and automotive commodities.
The Atlanta, Georgia-based company is expected to release its fiscal Q2 2026 results before the market opens on Thursday, Jul. 23. Ahead of this event, analysts predict NSC to report an adjusted EPS of $3.20, a 2.7% decline from $3.29 in the year-ago quarter. However, it has exceeded Wall Street's bottom-line estimates in each of the last four quarters.
