Description: UNP Union Pacific December 02, 2025
Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE: UNP) operates the nation’s largest Class I railroad, moving a diversified mix of commodities-including grain, fertilizers, coal, renewables, industrial chemicals, forest products, automotive goods, and intermodal containers-across a 32,000-mile network that links major U.S. production hubs to coastal ports and inland markets.
Key performance indicators show the railroad generated ≈ $24.5 billion in revenue for FY 2023, with an industry-leading operating ratio of ~ 60.6% and roughly 19.5 million carloads moved, underpinning a dividend yield near 3.5%. The business is highly sensitive to macro-drivers such as agricultural export volumes, construction activity, and energy sector demand (both coal and renewable fuels), while intermodal growth and rail-capacity constraints remain pivotal sector trends.
