CSX Stock<\/strong> (NYSE: CSX
\n CSX
\n <\/fbs-ticker>) will report its Q2 2023 results on Thursday, July 20. We expect the company\u2019s revenues to come in at $3.7 billion, aligning with the consensus estimate. This would mark a year-over-year decline of about 3%. Earnings will likely come in at about $0.49 per share, in line with the consensus estimate. See our interactive dashboard analysis on <\/strong>CSX Earnings Preview<\/strong> for more details on how the company\u2019s revenues and earnings will likely trend for the quarter. So, what are some of the trends that are likely to drive CSX results?<\/p>\n

CSX should benefit from robust coal and merchandise freight demand. However, with fuel prices cooling off, it will likely weigh on overall fuel surcharges and average revenue per carload. The total volume of carloads is also expected to see a marginal decline compared to the prior-year quarter. Looking at Q1\u201923, CSX\u2019s revenues<\/strong> of $3.7 billion reflected a 9% y-o-y growth, led by a 9% rise in average revenue per unit, while its total volume of carloads was down 1%.<\/p>\n

The fuel surcharge revenue for the company stood at $361 million in Q1, and it should be lower in Q2 vs. its prior-year figure of $395 million. The WTI price per gallon fell from $105 (end of June last year) to $75 now. CSX\u2019s net income of $987 million in Q1\u201923 reflected a 15% rise from its $859 million figure in the prior-year quarter, led by sales growth and nearly a 300 bps rise in operating margin to 39.5%. Our CSX Operating Income Comparison<\/strong> dashboard has more details. Looking at the bottom line, CSX reported earnings of $0.48 per share in Q1\u201923, compared to $0.39 per share in the prior-year quarter.<\/p>\n

Not only do we expect CSX to post an in-line Q2\u201923, with a slight decline in sales and earnings, we believe its stock is fully valued. We estimate CSX\u2019s\u2019 valuation<\/strong> to be $33 per share, marginally below its current price of $34. Our forecast is based on a 17x P\/E multiple for CSX and expected earnings of $1.94 on a per-share and adjusted basis for the full-year 2023. The 17x P\/E multiple aligns with the stock\u2019s last three-year average, implying that the stock is fully valued. In fact, fears of a potential recession and its impact on the railroad business could weigh on CSX stock in the near term. That said, if the company were to report a Q2 beat and upward revision in guidance, it would likely see its stock rise post the results announcement.<\/p>\n

While CSX stock looks appropriately priced, it is helpful to see how CSX\u2019s Peers<\/strong> fare on metrics that matter. You will find other valuable comparisons for companies across industries at Peer Comparisons<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Covid-19 crisis has created many pricing discontinuities which can offer attractive trading opportunities. For example, you\u2019ll be surprised at how counter-intuitive the stock valuation is for <\/strong>CSX vs. Amerco<\/strong>
