Citi analyst Christian Wetherbee raised his price target for CSX (CSX) to $51 following reports that outgoing Canadian Pacific (CP) CEO Hunter Harrison was teaming up with former Pershing Square activist investor Paul Hilal to approach the company. The situation could be "significantly less contentious" than what transpired a year ago with Norfolk Southern (NSC), as CSX's "management dynamic could fit with Hunter's addition quite well," Wetherbee tells investors in a research note. The analyst views the "probability of success as elevated" and keeps a Buy rating on CSX. He sees the potential for "big upside" given Hunter's track record at CP.

Susquehanna analyst Bascome Majors lowered the firm's price target on Canadian Pacific Kansas City to $84 from $85 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm reviewed the rail industry for the upcoming Q1 earnings season and said the firm remains selectively constructive as the rail industry shows cyclical stability into 2Q, but they are actively looking for mid-term entry points on short-term stumbles. They noted Q1 is ending similarly to the way it started; comfortable with slow but stable volumes, and enthusiastic about the rails' pricing power relative to deepening rate-driven pain in truckload. They said with greater conviction in cyclical stability they raised target multiples across the U.S. rails.

JPMorgan analyst Brian Ossenbeck anticipates intermodal shipments will divert away from the Port of Baltimore following the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse to other Eastern ports. The impact for rail auto volumes appears minimal given the activity at the port is primarily contained to local markets served by truck, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm thinks the biggest negative impact will be on export coal volume for CSX which is shipped from the Curtis Bay terminal in the area while Norfolk could pick up some volume if it is diverted to Hampton Road. The ultimate impact will depend on how quickly the port resumes operations and at this point the U.S. government has already made a statement supporting the reconstruction, JPMorgan says.
