Atlanta, Georgia-based Norfolk Southern Corporation (NSC) provides rail transportation services. Valued at $64.6 billion by market cap, the company transports raw materials, intermediate products, and finished goods via interchange with rail carriers. NSC also transports overseas freight through several Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports. The leader in the transportation industry is expected to announce its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings for 2025 before the market opens on Thursday, Jan. 29.
Ahead of the event, analysts expect NSC to report a profit of $2.89 per share on a diluted basis, down 4.9% from $3.04 per share in the year-ago quarter. The company beat the consensus estimates in three of the last four quarters while missing the forecast on another occasion.
