Union Pacific’s high load of debt is now a problem. They got billions in debt to buyback stock and inflate the stock

Don’t shoot the messenger I just read Yahoo News like the rest of America.

Taxpayers, I meant the government will bail them out, because of the virus and lack of qualified employees have crippled them.

From the article “ We are also pleased by the efforts of Union Pacific to promote safety and enhance productivity. ” boy they sure have whomever wrote this snowballed. Anyone who actually works for the company knows it’s saying two things and one isn’t said publicly about safety, as far as productivity goes improving that’s a joke, signing off work completed that wasn’t done and having locomotives fail in route while pulling freight(then storing those broken locomotives) and starting “stored” locomotives in consist to finish the trips isn’t productive especially long term. As far as hiring goes if they are accepting people who are qualified purely because they have a degree this company will still be having issues for the foreseeable future. They need to start promoting KNOWLEDGEABLE people from within (not $ucka$$e$ who think they can do the job but flounder when the pressure is on) instead of hiring college grads whose only work experience is an internship or working at a restaurant or store while in college. When the collectors start calling in the debt hopefully they’ll be able to pay it or restructure it and keep those of us still able to say we work for them (albeit without pride) gainfully employed and working.

If your current job doesn’t work out you should consider the Iraqi Information Minister position. Although he was a little more believable than you.

You being rejected doesn’t cause doom for the UP. They’ll still get quality recruits. Life goes on. Don’t be a quality whiner.

So the inability to recruit competent employees can’t affect stock prices long term? Got it. UP ladies and gentleman. That’s why they are ranked the #1 worst company with a momentum score of D.

Please tell us the StraightUPTruth on how UP has been thinking anything but short term. Was going 20 billion + in debt to boost stock prices in short term a long term move? How about running their reputation into the ground where they aren’t allowed to even recruit at a lot of college fairs anymore. Nobody and I mean nobody with any options coming out of college sees UP as anything but a last resort. Obvious you are either upper management, ignorant, or both.

“Union Pacific’s escalating debt levels are worrisome too. Debt/EBITDA ratio (adjusted) at Union Pacific stands at 2.5 at the end of 2019. A high Debt/EBITDA ratio often indicates that a firm may be unable to clear its debt appropriately. The company's investment toward enhancement of its facilities, resulting in higher capital expenditure ($3.2 billion in 2019), is likely to limit bottom-line growth.

Negative Estimate Revisions and Weak Momentum Score

The pessimism revolving around the stock is evident from the Zacks Consensus Estimate for current year earnings being revised downward by 17.4% in the past 60 days to $7.81.

The company’s Momentum Score of D further highlights its short-term unattractiveness.”
