Reason
Susquehanna lowered the firm's price target on Norfolk Southern to $250 from $260 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm said there's certainly mid-term risk to the company's unchanged top-line view, but investor expectations feel much better managed today than in 2H24. Perhaps more importantly, the headwinds Norfolk faces today are more about macro than the company-specific distractions from 2023 and 2024.

Stifel lowered the firm's price target on Norfolk Southern to $247 from $265 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. Carload volumes in Q1 were "a little mixed by operator, but generally not terrible," the analyst tells investors in a preview for the rail group. Generally, the firm is expecting results in line with to slightly lower than its had previously anticipated, but adds that "the elephant in the room has nothing do to with 1Q, and everything to do with DC."
