<h3>Norfolk Southern P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 33.44 in the Ground Transportation industry, Norfolk Southern Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 18.5. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745013621_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

U.S. Rep.&nbsp;Marjorie Taylor Greene&nbsp;(R-Ga.) has been buying the sharp pullback in markets spurred by President Donald Trump&#8217;s sweeping reciprocal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44678625/did-trump-team-manipulate-tariff-formula-to-achieve-higher-rates-experts-weigh-in-as-they-think-whole-thing-was-rigged">tariff announcement last week</a>.

After disclosing the purchase of shares of a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ETF last month, Greene appears to be ramping up bets on some of the names that sold off on tariff-related concerns.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Norfolk Southern has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Norfolk Southern's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Norfolk Southern's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.39%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

$100 Invested In Norfolk Southern 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

After President Donald Trump imposed an additional 10% levy on Chinese imports, China has retaliated with tariffs on major agricultural imports from the U.S. Many agricultural product manufacturers, suppliers, and related businesses are likely to be impacted by this move.
What Happened: China&#8217;s newly imposed tariffs will take effect from March 10, whereas the goods already in transit will be exempt until April 12, according to the Chinese Commerce Ministry.
These latest measures from Beijing target about $22 billion of American agriculture products that include one of its largest export worth $12 billion to China — Soybeans, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/da80beaf-d916-4125-a9bc-040a1f15942e?ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> FT. Chicken, pork, beef, corn, seafood, and cotton are among the 740 items with newly imposed tariffs.
These Chinese tariffs on agricultural products emerged after Trump&#8217;s joint Congress address, where he said that his tariff polices focused on protecting the American farmers.
&#8220;Because those goods that come in from other countries and companies, they're really, really in a bad position in so many different ways. They're uninspected. They may be very dirty and disgusting and they come in and they pour in and they hurt our American farmers,&#8221; said Trump at the Congress address. 
Following this, Beijing also halted U.S. timber imports, citing pest infestations such as recent detections of bark beetles and longhorn beetles.
Here&#8217;s a list of public companies involved with the manufacturing and supply of soybeans that could be impacted following China&#8217;s tariffs.

Why It Matters: While tariffs are inherently considered to be inflationary, some analysts have opined otherwise. According to Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates, "The anxiety over tariffs may be holding back some consumers, but I want to assure you that I do not expect most tariffs to be inflationary. As an example, the tariffs that have been imposed on China are expected to be suppressed by Chinese deflation as well as a weak Chinese yuan."
On Sunday, Trump acknowledged the potential of short-term turbulence and didn&#8217;t rule out recession stemming from his economic agenda. In a Fox News <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoRzZWLHa8M">interview</a>, he said, "I hate to predict things like that" and called the changes being brought about by his administration as "very big."
However, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick dismissed recession fears, saying the U.S. is in a &#8220;transition&#8221; as President Trump plans broad reciprocal tariffs. "There's going to be no recession… Global tariffs will drop," Lutnick <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/commerce-secretary-lutnick-americans-shouldnt-brace-recession-rcna195522">told</a> NBC's Meet the Press.
Additionally, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/07/cnbc-transcript-united-states-treasury-secretary-scott-bessent-speaks-with-cnbcs-squawk-box-today.html">warned</a> Friday that the U.S. economy is overly dependent on government spending, predicting a &#8220;detox period.&#8221;

Trump Administration Opens Review Into Whether To Rescind $4B In Grants Awarded To California High Speed Rail Project

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) disclosed buying stock in a handful of public companies including Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>). The latest purchase disclosed Friday could lead to more scrutiny of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/congress-trading">Congress Trading activity.</a>
What Happened: Greene is one of the most well-known members of Congress and her close relationship with President Donald Trump and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/02/43452092/musk-doge-partner-marjorie-taylor-green-goes-after-npr-pbs-is-the-department-of-education-next">growing relationship with </a>billionaire Elon Musk, leader of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, could give her an inside track on how the White House administration will delegate new and existing deals.
The congresswoman went several years without disclosing new stock purchases before unveiling a handful in May 2024. That disclosure has been followed up with trades <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42747345/marjorie-taylor-green-went-christmas-shopping-for-stocks-heres-what-she-bought-before-holiday">every month or two</a>, including the most recent trades made in February 2025, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/marjorie-taylor-greene">Benzinga's Government Trades page.</a>
Here are the latest stocks bought by Greene, with each transaction totaling $1,000 to $15,000 in size.
<ul>
<li>Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>)</li>
<li>Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)</li>
<li>Devon Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>)</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>)</li>
<li>Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>)</li>
<li>Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)</li>
<li>Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)</li>
<li>Norfolk Southern (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSC#NYSE">NSC</a>)</li>
<li>Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>)</li>
<li>United Parcel Service (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>)</li>
</ul>
Several of the trades made by Greene could raise red flags as conflicts of interest given her congressional committee assignments. Greene is a member of the following committees:
<ul>
<li>House Committee on Oversight and Accountability: Chairwoman, Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.)</li>
<li>House Committee on Homeland Security: Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability</li>
</ul>
Greene has made trades in technology stocks before, which could influence her role in the subcommittee on counterterrorism and intelligence.
Benzinga contacted Greene for comment on this story and she had not responded at the time of publication. 
One of the newest trades could represent the largest potential conflict of interest: Palantir Technologies is a company that regularly lands government contracts. As a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, Greene could have an inside track on upcoming contracts with Palantir.

Why It's Important: Greene is not the only member of Congress betting on Palantir Technologies stock. Three other members of Congress have bought the stock in recent weeks.
Here are the other members of Congress who disclosed buying Palantir stock, with each purchase valued at $1,000 to $15,000 according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/securities/PLTR">Benzinga's Government Trades data.</a>

Marjorie Taylor Greene Discloses New Stock Trades: Is Palantir Purchase Conflict Of Interest For Committee Assignments?

Norfolk Southern's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSC#NYSE">NSC</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.35% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.18 million shares sold short, which is 0.96% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.38 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Norfolk Southern has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Norfolk Southern's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Norfolk Southern's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.10%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
