Description: UNP Union Pacific February 25, 2026
Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE: UNP) operates the nation’s largest freight-rail network, moving a diverse mix of commodities-including grain, fertilizers, coal, renewables, intermodal containers, and automotive goods-across the United States from its headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska.
Recent performance highlights include a 2025 operating ratio of 61.4% (down from 62.0% in 2024), record-high carloads of 22.5 billion tons in Q4 2025, and net earnings of $4.8 billion for the full year, driven by strong demand for agricultural products and a resurgence in renewable-fuel shipments. Key economic drivers remain robust grain exports, increased ethanol-related freight, and ongoing U.S. infrastructure spending that supports rail-linked construction material transport.
