Barclays analyst Brandon Oglenski downgraded Union Pacific (UNP) to Equal Weight from Overweight and lowered his price target for the shares to $170 from $190. The analyst also cut his Transportation sector view to Neutral saying he sees "real fundamental challenges set against high market expectations." Railroad equities are not properly discounting recent headwinds from softer demand and "lower supply chain urgency" across North America, Oglenski tells investors in a research note. Further, he sees increasing risk that tariff driven inflation could "damp consumer consumption" later this year, at least in the U.S. As a result, Oglenski suggests investors take some Transportation exposure off the table. He keeps Equal Weight ratings on Canadian National (CNI), Kansas City Southern (KSU) and Norfolk Southern (NSC) as well as Overweight ratings on Canadian Pacific (CP) and CSX (CSX).

The company said, "CN reaffirms its 2024 outlook and expects to deliver adjusted diluted EPS growth of approximately 10% and expects to invest approximately C$3.5 billion in its capital program, net of amounts reimbursed by customers. The Company also expects return on invested capital (ROIC) to be within the targeted range of 15%-17%. CN reiterates its longer-term financial perspective and continues to target compounded annual diluted EPS growth in the range of 10%-15% over the 2024-2026 period driven by growing volumes more than the economy, pricing above rail inflation and incrementally improving efficiency, all of which assumes a supportive economy."

We remain committed to delivering on our growth agenda and powering the economy," Tracy Robinson, president and CEO, CN.
