CSX Corporation has reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2025. The company noted a 3% year-over-year decrease in revenue, totaling $3.57 billion. This decline was attributed to lower export coal prices, a reduced fuel surcharge, and a decrease in merchandise volume, which were partially offset by higher merchandise pricing, an increase in other revenue, and growth in intermodal volume. Operating income for the quarter stood at $1.28 billion, marking an 11% decrease compared to the same period in 2024. CSX's operating margin was reported at 35.9%, representing a decrease of 320 basis points year-over-year but an improvement of 550 basis points sequentially. Net income for the quarter was $829 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to $963 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, in the previous year. The total volume for the quarter was 1.58 million units, remaining flat compared to the second quarter of 2024 but showing a 4% increase sequentially. CSX highlighted ongoing efforts in completing two major infrastructure projects designed to bolster its position for future growth opportunities.
