June quarter beat expectations

In the second quarter of 2026, CSX reported revenue of USD 3.94 billion, up 10.1 percent from the same period a year earlier. The result exceeded the USD 3.89 billion consensus estimate, while diluted earnings per share reached USD 0.54 versus USD 0.52 expected, according to MarketBeat. The prior-year earnings-per-share figure was USD 0.44, giving investors a concrete comparison for the June quarter.

Stock remains below yearly high

The combination of a lower individual target and a USD 51.09 consensus average leaves the October 21 results as the next major test for the railroad's earnings trajectory.
