The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- WAB closes below its 50-day average ($284.48) while the 50-day is still above the 200-day ($269.38): a pullback inside a longer rise, not yet a downtrend.
- At $283.59, WAB is 7.5% below its 1-year high of $306.64, set on July 29, 2026, and 45.5% above its 1-year low of $194.93 (November 21, 2025).
- Over the past month WAB rose 1.0%, from $280.80 to $283.59.
- WAB trades at 35.2x its last twelve months of earnings and 22.5x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 56.3% higher.
- Its P/E is 31.4% above the 26.8x of NSC, the other railroads company we track.
- WAB's 30-day volatility, 32.1% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 2.0%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.93: over five years of monthly returns, WAB moved about 0.93% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- A close back above the 50-day average, $284.48 (+0.3%), restores the uptrend; the 50-day falling 5.3% under the 200-day at $269.38 would make it a downtrend.
- A close above $306.64 (+8.1%) would be a new 1-year high; below $194.93 (−31.3%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for WAB, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under railroads among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
