Deep Analysis

Gross margin is the share of each revenue dollar that remains after covering direct production costs, so UNP’s 45.5% means it keeps $0.455 per $1.00 of sales before other expenses.

That figure sits just below the sector median of 46.4%, placing UNP at the 48th percentile among its peers—essentially middle-of-the-pack with no clear advantage or handicap. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter move was +0.2%, from 45.4% to 45.5%, a slight sequential improvement. With a level near the peer midpoint and only a marginal upward nudge, the margin neither signals fresh pressure nor suggests a widening competitive lead
