Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from NSC's reported EPS growth of 6.8% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $17.76
- Implied price
- $408.44
- Return from $317.44
- 5.2% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $203.06 — -36.0% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 17 | 20 | 23 | 26 | 29 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -3.2% | -10.3% | -7.3% | -4.7% | -2.3% | -0.2% |
| 1.8% | -5.6% | -2.5% | 0.2% | 2.7% | 5.0% |
| 6.8% | -1.0% | 2.3% | 5.2% | 7.8% | 10.2% |
| 11.8% | 3.6% | 7.1% | 10.1% | 12.8% | 15.3% |
| 16.8% | 8.3% | 11.8% | 15.0% | 17.9% | 20.5% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

Insider trading
Open-market buys and sells by NSC officers and directors.
No open-market trades in the recent filings. All 100 recent Form 4 entries were share awards, option exercises or tax withholding — pay, not decisions to buy or sell.
100 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to.
