I'm not in this, just came up on my large cap oversold screener.

May be a trade idea for any bottom channel players.

Seems like a good defensive hold at least till ex-div. date. That way regardless of price still collect divy.

If there is a bounce off the 200ma., all that much better.thumbup.gif

Started keeping an eye on NSC after you mentioned it marcos.  Figured it might stay around that $69-$70 a little bit.  Blew through that today with some volume.  Might look at taking a stab around the weekly 100 DMA which also coincides nicely with the weekly trend line and weekly BB.

Norfolk Southern profit up despite coal drop

700

 

 

Quote:

* Q2 EPS $1.60 vs $1.53 Wall Street view

* Revenue flat at $2.9 bln

* General merchandise, autos, intermodal offset coal revenue

* Utility coal orders starting to increase

July 24 (Reuters) - Railroad company Norfolk Southern Corp reported a higher quarterly profit and flat revenue, with increased general merchandise and intermodal revenue offsetting a double-digit drop in revenue from coal.

The coal business remains challenging, but utilities are burning off some of this stockpile to power air conditioners and starting to increase coal shipments again, Norfolk Southern executives told analysts on a conference call.

Coal shipments to utilities fell as winter weather and low natural gas prices caused their existing stockpiles to grow.

"With much higher temperatures across our utility network, and with some mitigation in natural gas prices recently, we are beginning to see some customers add train sets and increase orders of coal," said Don Seale, chief marketing officer at Norfolk Southern.

Coal revenue fell 15 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier. Revenue rose 9 percent for general merchandise shipments, which includes automobile and chemicals shipments, while revenue rose 4 percent for intermodal deliveries.

Intermodal refers to shipping goods in containers that can be moved from one form of transportation to another, such as from train to truck or train to ship.

The three other major U.S. railroads - Union Pacific Corp , CSX Corp and Kansas City Southern - all reported last week that generally beat profit forecasts as auto and intermodal shipments helped offset the big coal volume slump.

Norfolk Southern, the third-largest publicly held U.S. railroad, on Tuesday reported earnings rose 3 percent to $1.60 per share. That beat the average estimate of $1.53, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Net income of $524 million, was down 6 percent from $557 million a year ago. Net income a year ago reflected $63 million, or 18 cents per share, from non-recurring, income tax-related benefits.

Quarterly operating revenue for the Norfolk, Virginia-based company were flat at $2.9 billion, and in line with estimates.

Norfolk Southern's shares were unchanged at $71.96 in after-hours trading.

52 week range is 57-78, its about 2/3 of the way towards the high in this range. Interesting to see rails doing as well as they have through the tough part of this year, especially with coal sagging. This is one reason why I think the bloodthirsty bears aren't going to get quite what they want until a number of months out. If they do, these rail stocks should really have a terrible 1-2 next quarters. Have had some of this in the kid's college account for a while, was going to trim some over 80 early this year but after setting a 52 wk high by .10 NSC pancaked... or, roughly translated, I got greedy.

On the weekly, there is amazing rising trendline support going back 2.5 years, which combined with upper TL resistance off winter highs, forms a nice wedge. NSC did just fail to breakout in earnest, so it could be a fast move down off a failed breakout... but it's worth watching this battle for a while longer to see if it can make another run at the upside breakout.

NSC has basically busted up out of the wedge now. At this point, I'm focused on the daily chart. Below it is shown for calendar 2012. Notice the big spikes at end of '11 and in April of this year, it rode the bollie up, pushing it hard for a while. So, of course both times it came back down pretty hard. This time, price seems almost allergic to that upper bollie, which IMO is great, and combined with a flatter rate of ascent, shows more potential for a lasting uptrend that can hold more of the gains over the long haul - pun intended. So right now we have that dotted upper TL of what is almost a perfect ascending triangle, and then the 52-wk high as targets. Now take a look at the XOM daily chart, there is an almost identical pattern in play, and if you look closely, it appears Exxon is leading NSC by a week or two. They also reported at the same time and issue similar dividends, making me think that what's good for XOM is also good for NSC and thus it just reinforces my pre-existing bullishness on NSC.



Here is NSC's new TV ad, which will run heavily during the conventions and through November. Pretty good ad.

NSC tanked almost 9% today at its low on lowered Q3 guidance, it was something like 1.55-1.65 expected revised to 1.10s... big drop largely on the back of weak coal. However, I could not resist the opportunity to scale back in and replace my 75.30s sale last month with some 66.40s today. I don't think it will have trouble moving back up to 69-72 in the next few weeks.
