CSX Corporation (CSX
+1.5%) is added to the BMO Capital list of top 15 U.S. large cap stock picks to replace Union Pacific (UNP
+1.7%).
The firm thinks CSX is executing better than peers on both operational and commercial fronts.

Analyst Brian Belski: "We believe that CSX will experience well above historical average volume growth going forward, which should enable it to further improve margins without a significant increase in capex supporting expansion in ROIC and FCF."
Wall Street analysts are bullish on both CSX and UNP. The Seeking Alpha Quant Rating on CSX is Very Bullish vs. the Seeking Alpha Quant Rating on Union Pacific of Neutral. Compare CSX and UNP side by side.
