On October 9, 2026, Susquehanna cut its target for Union Pacific stock from USD 345.00 to USD 333.00 and kept a positive rating, according to Ground News. The change puts valuation and the pending Norfolk Southern combination back at the center of the Union Pacific stock debate.
Three milestones shape the case
On July 23, 2026, Union Pacific reported USD 6.86 billion in second-quarter revenue, up 12.00 percent year over year, with diluted earnings per share of USD 3.36, according to Union Pacific. The finance statement for the same quarter shows net income attributable to common shareholders of USD 1.99 billion, compared with USD 1.70 billion in the first quarter.
On September 22, 2026, the Surface Transportation Board unanimously rejected requests to dismiss the revised merger application, according to Union Pacific. The companies said the proposed combination could remove more than 2 million truckloads from highways, while completion is expected in the second half of 2027.
On October 9, 2026, Susquehanna lowered its target from USD 345.00 to USD 333.00 and assigned a positive rating, according to Ground News. That revision is a quantified counterweight to the second-quarter growth figures.
What does the merger review mean?
The regulatory path remains the key swing factor. The proposed transaction would connect Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern networks, but the review continues after opponents challenged the application; the formal process includes comments due November 18, 2026, according to Trucking Dive.
What comes next for earnings?
Union Pacific will release third-quarter 2026 results on October 22, 2026, at 7:45 a.m. ET and host its conference call at 8:45 a.m. ET, according to Union Pacific. November 18, 2026 is the next cited merger-process deadline for opening comments.
