CSX has also benefited from its acquisition of Quality Carriers – a trucking company focused on bulk liquid chemicals transportation – in 2021, bolstering revenue growth in the recent past. The current high inflationary environment, rising interest rates, and fears of a recession will likely weigh on CSX’s near-term performance. After a 9% fall, year-to-date, CSX stock (NYSE: CSX) has some room for growth, in our view.
