Source: Keith Homan / Shutterstock.com Humana (NYSE: HUM ) stock is heading higher on Thursday after the health insurance company revised its guidance during its Investor Day event. That revised guidance now has Humana expecting adjusted earnings per share of approximately $25 for the full year of 2022. The prior outlook was for $24.75 per share. To put that in perspective, Wall Street is expecting the company to report an adjusted EPS of $24.83 for the year. To go along with that, Humana also introduced a new adjusted EPS guidance of $37 per share for the full year of 2025. This represents a compounded annual growth rate of 14% compared to its latest adjusted EPS guidance for 2022. Bruce Broussard, president and CEO of Humana, said the following about the earnings report. “We are confident in our ability to deliver compelling, sustainable earnings growth, both in the near and longer term which will continue to drive shareholder value. Our strong competitive positioning and unique capabilities in the highly attractive individual Medicare Advantage market, coupled with the opportunity to scale and further integrate our CenterWell healthcare services capabilities, positions us for durable leadership in the value-based care industry.” HUM is seeing decent trading today with some 700,000 shares on the move.

Stocks stabilized Wednesday after Tuesday''s hotter-than-expected inflation data sparked Wall Street''s worst selloff in over two years. Inflation remained in focus today with the early morning release of the producer price index (PPI) for August. Similar to yesterday''s consumer price index (CPI) , the PPI – which measures what suppliers are charging for goods and services – rose at a slower annual clip in August than it did in July. However, on a month-over-month basis, both PPI and core PPI, which excludes energy and food prices, were up from July''s figures. SEE MORE 12 REITs Flaunting Fast-Growing Dividends "There is a divergence in headline and core inflation building, where headline is cooling and core is heating up," says Jamie Cox, managing partner at Harris Financial Group. "That''s an odd phenomenon and likely influenced by the shift from goods to services post-pandemic. The Fed should proceed with caution and not hit the emergency brake on rate hikes." While yesterday''s selling was broad-based, today''s action was more mixed.

US Railroads Enact "Contingency Plans," Preparing For Labor Strike As Union Talks Fail Railroads and labor unions worked through the weekend to make a deal. There were little signs of progress, and rail companies are now taking steps Monday to secure shipments of hazardous and security-sensitive materials "in light of the possibility of a rail labor strike," the Association of American Railroads (AAR) wrote in a statement. On Sunday, Norfolk Southern released a statement detailing it had "begun enacting its contingency plans for a controlled shut down of our network at 00:01 on Friday, Sept. 16." The railroad said two labor unions are holding out on new contracts, "we still do not have a commitment not to strike and must act accordingly," adding, "Our goal is to ensure that in the event of a work stoppage, crews, equipment, and freight safely reach their destinations with minimal disruption." Union Pacific and CSX also announced contingency plans for a possible work stoppage. BNSF told customers to call Congress so lawmakers on Capitol Hill can "intervene to prevent or quickly resolve the service disruption" if a labor strike materializes on Friday.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Major freight railroads, in a bid to apply pressure on unions and Congress, say a strike that could come after a key deadline passes next week would cost the economy more than $2 billion a day and disrupt deliveries of all kinds of goods and passenger traffic nationwide. The Association of American Railroads trade group issued a report estimating the dire consequences of a strike Thursday, one day after U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh took part in talks to try and help hammer out an agreement. A strike or lockout won’t be allowed until next Friday at the soonest under the federal that governs railroad negotiations. Five of the 12 unions involved that together represent some 115,000 workers have announced tentative agreements covering over 21,000 workers based on a set of recommendations that a special panel appointed by President Joe Biden made last month, but several key unions are holding out in the hope that the railroads will agree to go beyond those recommendations and address some of their concerns about working conditions.

The railroad industry has caught the market’s attention lately as the federal regulator, the Surface Transportation Board (STB), highlighted issues and suggested ways to revitalize the country’s freight services. Notably, the U.S. freight railroad industry is dominated by a few big players, including Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP), CSX Corporation (NASDAQ:CSX), and Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE:NSC). Interestingly, these companies are part of the portfolios of some prominent U.S. politicians as well. The Chairman of STB, Martin Oberman, hinted that the railroad industry is plagued with supply-chain issues. These headwinds are the byproduct of companies reducing their human resources to stay profitable in the business over the years.

CSX Corporation (NASDAQ: CSX ) and Norfolk Southern Corp. (NYSE: NSC ) traded higher on Friday after Stifel upgraded the two companies from a Hold rating to a Buy rating. In the recent industry report, Benjamin Nolan analyzed the current state of American railways and offered insight on recessionary trends as compared to the 2008-2009 Great Recession. CSX shed 9.19% of its value in June, and 18.74% in the last six months; while NSC lost 6.06% in June, and 17.54% in the last six months — vs. the S&P 500 which shed 7.19%, and 16.03% respectively — Nolan still finds value in the current context. Rail stocks have been re-rated and are now trading at significantly "more attractive multiples" in comparison to previously predicted earnings power, Nolan said. “However, moving into a softer macroeconomic environment and perhaps a recession, the volumes, prices, and ultimately earnings and cash flows of the rails could be impacted,” Nolan writes, “However, relative to previous cycles, we believe rails should be better insulated as persistently higher fuel prices should enable share gains over trucking.

Shares of Union Pacific Corp. sank 1.6% and Norfolk Southern Corp. dropped 0.8% in midday trading Tuesday, after JPMorgan analyst Brian Ossenbeck downgraded both railroad operators to neutral from overweight, citing lower earnings expectations due to persistently weak operations and lower economic forecasts. Ossenbeck said that although the stocks'' risk-versus-reward profiles appears balanced given that prices have already dropped from peak valuations levels in late March, the selloffs have not yet priced in the full impact of a potential freight recession, and the consensus analyst earnings estimates actually went up since the first quarter. Union Pacific shares have slumped 15.8% over the past three months and Norfolk shares have shed 13.5%, while the Dow Jones Transportation Average has declined 8.3% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has given up 8.5%. Ossenbeck said he was "increasingly cautious" on the U.S. rails'' ability to hire and retain sufficient labor, and because they are also likely to be slow to adjust headcount lower if economic conditions deteriorate.

US Rail System Still Deteriorating By Rick Paterson of Loop Capital Markets, first published in Railway Age We’re now in the second half of 2022, when the four major U.S. Class I’s have committed to turning their operations around, but the current state of play is not encouraging. Only Union Pacific has made any progress in recent months, but that has been from a low base and fading somewhat over the past two weeks. We would regard UP and Norfolk Southern as now in a “steady state” and it’s the other two we’re more worried about in terms of trajectory. BNSF’s intermodal business, in particular, is really struggling and in no shape to handle peak season volumes, which typically start around mid-August. Last week, BNSF Intermodal hit new lows in terms of network velocity (28.9 mph vs. 32.3 average in 2021) and on-time performance (only 57% of containers deramped within 24-hours of schedule), and a new high in terms of intermodal cars sitting idle for 48-hours or longer (1,610 out of 19,969 intermodal cars-on-line).

Port Of Houston Marks All-Time Container Volume Record By Noi Mahoney of American Shipper Gulf Coast ports got a boost in May from strong container volumes, as well as imports of steel and plywood and exports of crude oil and petroleum products. Port of Houston reaches all-time TEU record in May Port of Houston hit an all-time record for monthly container volumes in May, handling 335,000 twenty-foot equivalent units, a 16% increase over the same period last year. “Container activity continues to be at record levels. It seems like we’re talking about new records at the port every day,” Roger Guenther, Port Houston’s executive director, said during the port’s monthly meeting Tuesday. “There’s really no signs of [volume] backing off of the imports or exports and actually the exports are beginning to rebound a little bit.” Total import tonnage was 2.8 million tons in May, a 32% year-over-year increase. Total export tonnage was 2.1 million tons, a 2% year-over-year decrease. Imports of steel increased 72% year over year in May to 401,587 tons.
