  • Union Pacific, a major railroad company, saw its stock price rise 7% on the day, but this was lower than the 9.5% increase in the S&P 500 index. This was due to a pair of analyst price target cuts, though the analysts maintained their hold and buy recommendations. The company is vulnerable to the impact of tariffs on cargo volume, leading to potential volatility in the stock.
