Management remarks
Call period: 2026 Q3 · 2026-10-21
Guidance: Stephen F. Angel: Our outlook for capital expenditures remains below $2.4 billion and we expect free cash flow growth of more than 80%.
Demand and orders: Stephen F. Angel: Our volume grew 5% as more customers turned to our railroad to safely and reliably move their goods.
Margins: Kevin S. Boone: Adjusting for that charge, higher revenue and lower nonfuel costs drove a 25% increase in operating income, and 420 basis points of margin expansion despite 70 basis points of fuel price headwinds.
Analyst Q&A
Analyst Ken Hoexter asked: Hey, great. Good afternoon, good evening. So Kevin or Steve, PS&O dipped 400 basis points year over year, maybe even more than you thought. Maybe talk about some of the specific programs or just such a great achievement. How structural is this? Management Kevin S. Boone answered: In fact, we are already thinking about 2028 as well as we think about 2027. So we are a deep bench. I would also say on the technology side, that is another area where I just see a lot of opportunity to provide greater resources, greater clarity in terms of where the spend is. And we are seeing some early signs of that. I would say some more to be done in the next year and 2028. But those visibility tools allow the leaders out there to really identify costs and go after them.
