Norfolk Southern Posts Q2 Revenue Gain
Norfolk Southern (NYSE:NSC), one of the United States’ leading freight rail operators, released its second quarter 2025 earnings on July 29, 2025. The company reported GAAP revenue of $3.1 billion, missing analyst forecasts by $18 million, and adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings per share of $3.29, just below the $3.31 consensus. Despite missing both GAAP revenue and non-GAAP earnings expectations, the quarter featured year-over-year improvement across key operating and profitability metrics. Management underscored productivity gains and margin expansion but lowered its FY2025 revenue growth outlook in response to evolving economic headwinds.
