CSX jumps 10% in two days


Train Railroad giant CSX Corporation (NYSE: CSX) recorded record revenue of $10 billion for FY2007, the first time the company has crossed that threshold. CSX also posted record gains for 4Q 2007. EPS increased 15% to $0.86 per share on net earnings of $365 million. 4Q operating income increased over $100 million to $609 million.

CSX posted good revenue and productivity growth despite being hit with big increases in fuel costs. The company also posted significant improvements in its safety record. Over the past three years, CSX has posted the highest share price gain of any major railroad in North America, gaining 10% in just the last two days.

CSX CEO Michael Ward forecasts double-digit growth in both operating income and EPS for 2008. The stock currently trades in the mid-40s and may be worth a look for investors seeking some stability in the stock market.
