Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability
100

Union Pacific has an operating margin of 40.2%, meaning the company retains $40 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 100/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is up from 40.1% the prior year.

Growth
35

Union Pacific's revenue grew a modest 1.1% year-over-year to $24.5B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 35/100.

Leverage
67

Union Pacific carries a low D/E ratio of 1.72, meaning only $1.72 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 67/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
13

Union Pacific's current ratio of 0.91 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 13/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow
81

Union Pacific converts 22.4% of revenue into free cash flow ($5.5B). This strong cash generation earns a score of 81/100.

Returns
97

Union Pacific earns a strong 38.6% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $39 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 97/100. This is down from 40.0% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Safe
3.91

Piotroski F-Score Strong
7/9

Union Pacific passes 7 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), all 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed
1.30x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Union Pacific generates $1.30 in operating cash flow ($9.3B OCF vs $7.1B net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Safe
7.5x

Union Pacific earns $7.5 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($9.8B vs $1.3B). This wide margin provides strong safety for debt servicing, even if earnings decline temporarily.
