CSX rail 利益(をあげる) grows 5% even with 現在進行中の 配達/演説/出産 延期するs

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - CSX on Wednesday 配達するd わずかに better 利益(をあげる) in the second 4半期/4分の1 even though 容積/容量 was flat and the 鉄道/強行採決する still struggled to 扱う all the goods companies 手配中の,お尋ね者 to ship because it is having a hard time 雇うing.

The Jacksonville, Florida-based 鉄道/強行採決する said its 利益(をあげる)s grew 5% to $1.18 billion, or 54 cents per 株. That's up from $1.17 billion, or 52 cents per 株, a year ago. Without a one-time 伸び(る) on a real 広い地所 sale, the 鉄道/強行採決する earned 50 cents per 株.

CEO Jim Foote said CSX hasn't been able to keep up with all the 需要・要求する for 出荷/船積みs because it needs more 従業員s, but 雇うing is difficult and attrition has been high. He said 見込みのある 従業員s are 存在 more selective now about 職業s based on 質 of life factors, and the 24/7 nature of 鉄道/強行採決する 職業s may seem いっそう少なく 控訴,上告ing even though the 職業s 支払う/賃金 井戸/弁護士席.

"Our ability to to 雇う and 保持する new 労働者s, which is 決定的な to 改善するing our service and growing the 商売/仕事, remains challenged," Foote said. "We are not alone in 直面するing this problem. The labor market is tight."

But the results topped 塀で囲む Street 期待s. The 普通の/平均(する) 見積(る) of eight 分析家s 調査するd by Zacks 投資 研究 was for 収入s of 47 cents per 株.

The freight 鉄道/強行採決する´s 歳入 jumped 28% to $3.82 billion in the period as CSX 増加するd shipping 率s and 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金d 顧客s more 燃料 割増し料金s in 返答 to 急に上がるing ディーゼル prices. That topped the $3.64 billion that six 分析家s 調査するd by Zacks 予報するd.

Foote said he still 推定する/予想するs 二塁打-digit growth in 歳入 and operating income this year because 需要・要求する remains strong, and the economy does not appear to be 滞るing even in the 直面する of high インフレーション and rising 利益/興味 率s.

CSX and the other major freight 鉄道/強行採決するs have been struggling to 扱う all the 出荷/船積みs companies 雇うd them to 配達する this year, and those 出荷/船積み 延期するs have 軍隊d companies in a variety of 産業s to slow 生産/産物 or turn to shipping by トラックで運ぶ, if possible, while they are waiting for trains.

鉄道/強行採決するs are trying to 演説(する)/住所 the problems, but they have had a hard time 雇うing all the 付加 労働者s they need まっただ中に 全国的な 労働者 不足s. Rail 顧客s and regulat ors say the 鉄道/強行採決するs 削減(する) their 全労働人口s too 深く,強烈に as they 精密検査するd their 操作/手術s and 除去するd nearly one-third of the 職業s across the 産業. 鉄道/強行採決するs 反対する that they had enough 労働者s to 扱う all the freight before the pandemic, but they are still slowly 回復するing from the 職業 削減(する)s they made when many 商売/仕事s shut 負かす/撃墜する in 2020.

CSX said it now has about 6,667 of the 7,000 train crewmembers it needs, and it continues to 雇う 積極性. The 鉄道/強行採決する is also trying to 減ずる the number of new 従業員s who やめる after they 完全にする training. Foote said he 推定する/予想するs CSX will 攻撃する,衝突する its 雇うing 的 by the end of the third 4半期/4分の1.

But 顧客 groups say 鉄道/強行採決する service continues to be 欠如(する)ing. And the 改良s are likely to be slow because it takes so long to train new 鉄道/強行採決する 労働者s.

"We continue to see the same 肉親,親類d of problems," said Jeff Sloan with the American Chemistry 会議 貿易(する) group. "I don´t think even the 鉄道/強行採決するs are 予報するing a turnaround in the 近づく 未来."

Edward Jones 分析家 Jeff Windau said CSX appears 焦点(を合わせる)d on 雇うing, and the company is making some 進歩. But he said the 改良s are likely to come slowly because of all the 雇うing challenges.

The 鉄道/強行採決するs are also in the 中央 of difficult 契約 会談 with their 12 major unions. The 会談 行き詰まるd after more than two years, and 大統領 Joe Biden 任命するd a special board of 仲裁者s last week to 介入する in the 会談 and 延期する a possible strike at least until September while it tries to help 解決する the 論争.

CSX is one of the nation´s largest 鉄道/強行採決するs, and it operates more than 20,000 miles (32,000 キロメーターs) of 跡をつける in 26 Eastern 明言する/公表するs and two Canadian 州s after acquiring Pam-Am 鉄道s in the northeastern 部隊d 明言する/公表するs earlier this year.
