Union Pacific is a US freight railroad whose network links the West and Midwest with ports and border crossings to Mexico and Canada. It carries containers, chemicals, grain, coal and cars. Union Pacific plans to acquire Norfolk Southern; the US rail regulator STB is reviewing the application, with a decision expected in the second half of 2027 at the earliest. As of Oct 13, 2026
Union Pacific is the holding company of a freight railroad that serves the western United States by rail. The network links ports on the Pacific and Gulf coasts with the Midwest and with border crossings to Canada and Mexico. The railroad forms a single reporting segment, but the group reports revenue separately by commodity group. In bulk, the railroad carries grain, fertilizer, food and coal, for example to export terminals and utilities. The industrial division transports construction materials, chemicals, plastics, forest products, metals and petroleum products, among other goods.

Our own calculation from the exchange’s daily candles, as of Oct 26, 2026. “All-time” applies since the start of this series, not to the whole market. Changes in percent; the TradingView chart shows prices. “Today” = change of the last trading day versus the previous day. Not investment advice.
No buy zone
There is currently no buy zone for this symbol under our Elliott rule. One only forms when the price pulls back after a strong rise.

Weighting Main scenario (2 of 3 guidelines, medium) · no alternative Guidelines (strength of the count)Guidelines are typical features of a count, such as usual Fibonacci lengths or a change in the form of correction. Strong means: at least three quarters met, medium: at least half, otherwise weak. Even a strong count can flip.Example: 3 of 3 guidelines → strong; 2 of 4 → medium; 1 of 3 → weak.More in the Academy: Lesson wave degrees
Weighting by guidelines met – not a probability.
As long as the weekly close stays above the end of B, this applies: flat countermove upward in three waves (Flat, type known only after C), C in progress – count points to rising prices.
Invalid if the weekly close is below the end of B
If that breaks, this count no longer applies. Currently no alternative that follows the rules.

Summarized from the lights below. Describes the reported figures – not a recommendation to buy or sell.
Fiscal year 2025 (Jan 1, 2025 – Dec 31, 2025): Revenue 24.5B USD · Net income 7.1B USD · Net margin 29.1%
Each light follows a simple, disclosed rule. The comparison is with the sector median Sector medianThe middle value of all companies in a sector: half are above it, half below. Unlike the average, single outliers hardly distort it.Example: Margins 4%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 60% → median 10%, average 18.8%.More in the Academy: Lesson putting the P/E in context of all 90 symbols in the Industrials sector on our list (current members of the S&P 500 and other lists).
+4.6% per year, last 5 years
Sector Industrials: median +8.0% (81 symbols)
What does this mean? Revenue: over 5 years it grew by 4.6% per year on average, but more slowly than the median company in the sector (+8.0%).
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
+5.9% per year, last 5 years
Sector Industrials: median +10.0% (66 symbols)
per share: +8.7% per year (5 years, split-adjusted)
What does this mean? Total net income: over 5 years it grew by 5.9% per year on average, but more slowly than the median company in the sector (+10.0%).
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
29.1% last fiscal year
Sector Industrials: median 11.1% (88 symbols)
What does this mean? Of every 100 USD in revenue, 29.12 USD remained as profit – at least as much as the median company in the sector (11.1%). Five years ago the margin was 27.4%.
Light rule: Green: at least the sector median (without a sector comparison: profit) · Yellow: profit, but below the median · Red: loss.
1.72 latest balance sheet
Sector Industrials: median 0.59 (67 symbols)
What does this mean? For every 1 USD of equity there is 1.72 USD of financial debt – more than twice as much as the median company in the sector (0.59). More debt amplifies good and bad years alike.

45% Dividend / earnings per share
Sector Industrials: median 35% (65 symbols)
What does this mean? Of every 1 USD of earnings per share, 0.45 USD went to shareholders as a dividend. The rest stays in the company. Median company in the sector: 35%.
Light rule: Green: up to 60% of earnings · Yellow: up to 100% · Red: more than earnings or a dividend despite a loss · Gray for real estate (REITs). The sector median is for comparison only.
10 of 10 fiscal years with a profit
What does this mean? In 10 of the last 10 fiscal years the bottom line showed a profit. There were no losses in this period.
Light rule: Green: profit in every year · Yellow: one loss year · Red: several loss years (at least 3 years needed).

How we calculate: values as first reported to the SEC (later corrections are left out), a fixed order of reporting tags per figure, partial sums are never added up. Growth per year Growth per year (CAGR)The average annual growth rate over several years, as if the value had grown equally strongly every year. Individual good or bad years even out in it.Example: Revenue €100m → €161m in 5 years → (161 ÷ 100) to the power of 1/5 − 1 = 10% per year.More in the Academy: Lesson debt, dividends and growth over 5 years (otherwise 3 years). Quarters are labeled by the calendar quarter in which they end.
