CSX edges higher as rail volumes steady near 52-week high
CSX rose 1.02% to $51.31 on Monday, trading near the top of its 52-week range of $33.63-$53.60. The stock carries a trailing P/E of 27.7 on EPS of $1.73. Revenue grew 2.5% year over year, while EPS expanded 6.4%, with net margin holding at 22.2%. The Alpha Score of 54.8 reflects strong momentum (89) offset by middling value (33.7) and quality (54.2). The session gain came without a company-specific catalyst; rail volumes have held steady through October after a choppy third quarter. Next week's October carload and intermodal data will offer the first read on peak-season demand.
