Why CSX Likely Won’t Meet Analysts’ Revenue Estimates in 1Q18

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters have estimated revenue of $2.8 billion for CSX (CSX) in 1Q18. Compared to the railroad company’s ~$2.9 billion revenue in the same quarter of 2017, analysts’ estimate reflects a 2.6% fall YoY (year-over-year), suggesting that analysts have factored volume losses and competitive losses into the company’s 1Q18. For 2018, analysts expect CSX to register $11.5 billion in revenue, reflecting a 1.2% rise on a yearly basis.
