Deutsche Bank raised Union Pacific's (UNP) price target to $272 from $243 and maintained a Buy rating. The increased target reflects the firm's positive outlook on the railroad company's earnings potential.
Union Pacific (UNP) is poised to report its earnings for the quarter ended June 2025, with analysts expecting a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues. The consensus outlook indicates a positive earnings picture for the company, but the actual results could significantly impact its near-term stock price. The earnings report, scheduled for release on July 24, will be closely watched by investors.Analysts predict that Union Pacific will post quarterly earnings of $2.89 per share, representing a year-over-year change of +5.5%. Revenues are expected to reach $6.11 billion, up 1.7% from the year-ago quarter. However, the consensus EPS estimate has been revised 0.22% lower over the last 30 days, reflecting analysts' reassessment of the company's earnings prospects [1].
The Most Accurate Estimate for Union Pacific is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.50%. Combined with the company's Zacks Rank of #3, this indicates that Union Pacific is likely to beat the consensus EPS estimate [1].
Historically, Union Pacific has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times over the last four quarters. However, the company delivered a surprise of -1.10% for the last reported quarter, when it posted earnings of $2.70 per share instead of the expected $2.73 [1].
Deutsche Bank recently raised Union Pacific's price target to $272 from $243 and maintained a Buy rating. The increased target reflects the firm's positive outlook on the railroad company's earnings potential [2].
While an earnings beat or miss may not solely determine a stock's movement, Union Pacific appears to be a compelling candidate for an earnings beat. Investors should consider other factors as well when making investment decisions ahead of the earnings release.
