# BUZZ-UBS lifts Union Pacific rating to 'buy', sees strong volume growth

UBS upgrades rating on U.S. railroad operator Union Pacific (UNP.N) to “buy” from “neutral”, raises price target to $339 from $310

New PT implies upside of 19.4% from stock’s last close

UNP should benefit from strong 2027 volume growth and a stronger pricing tailwind, UBS says

Company’s intermodal volumes could grow 6%-7% in 2027, driven by strong volume momentum and favorable truckload pricing trends - UBS

Says Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger faces a challenging regulatory review process with an uncertain outcome

18 of 27 brokerages rate the stock “buy” or higher, nine “hold”; median PT is $337 - data compiled by LSEG

Including session’s move, shares up 22.4% YTD
