72
out of 100
Csx Corp runs like a cash machine: it converts about 19.3% of revenue into free cash flow and holds a 22.2% net margin, though it grows at a measured pace. On fundamental quality it scores 72 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +5.9%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.
CSX runs one of the two big railroads of the eastern U.S., moving coal, chemicals, grain and containers over thousands of miles of its own track. A regional duopoly with near-absolute entry barriers: nobody is building another network.
