Union Pacific stock price 2026–2030: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If Union Pacific's earnings keep growing at the 10.5% a year analysts expect to FY2028, it would earn about 19.24 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (18.4 to 25.2) that is 354.38 to 485.58 a share, or 418.17 at its average P/E of 21.7. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 13.18 | 242.75 | 286.45 | 332.62 |
| FY2027 | 14.40 | 265.27 | 313.03 | 363.49 |
| FY2028 | 15.75 | 290.17 | 342.40 | 397.60 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 17.41 | 320.67 | 378.40 | 439.39 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 19.24 | 354.38 | 418.17 | 485.58 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after grow 10.5% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (18.4, 21.7, 25.2).
Is Union Pacific stock undervalued or overvalued?How does Arincen work out a stock's fair value? Fair value is our estimate of a share's price at the P/E the company usually trades at, with a low to high range around it.
Union Pacific's P/E of 23.5 is near the top of its 5-year range (16.5 to 27.7, median 21.2). Analysts expect faster growth than in recent years, which can explain part of the high P/E. Buyers pay about the usual price for each point of growth: a PEG of 2.5 on expected growth against 2.4 on its median P/E and past five years' growth. At its usual P/E (21.2 × EPS of 12.85), Union Pacific's fair value is 272.53; the price, 302.03, is 10.8% above it. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2026, is 22.9.
Fair value is the usual (median) P/E of the last five years times the earnings per share of the last twelve months; the ends of the bar are the same earnings at its lowest and highest P/E of those years (16.5 and 27.7). The price against its P/E range
