CSX is one of the major freight railroads in the United States. Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, the company was formed in 1980 through the merger of the Chessie System and Seaboard Coast Line Industries. Its rail network covers the eastern U.S. and parts of Canada, connecting ports along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts with industrial centers and major cities east of the Mississippi River.
CSX hauls a wide range of goods, including chemicals, agricultural and food products, automobiles, minerals, forest products, coal and intermodal containers moving between ports, rail yards and trucks. Rail is highly fuel-efficient compared with trucking, but volumes depend on industrial production, consumer demand, coal exports and international trade. Operating efficiency, service reliability, labor relations and regulation by the Surface Transportation Board are key issues, as is consolidation across the North American rail industry. CSX trades on Nasdaq under the ticker CSX and belongs to the Nasdaq-100 and the S&P 500.
The current price of CSX stock is $50.97 (+0.50% vs. the previous close). In today's trading the high was $50.97 and the low $50.39.
How the Quantum Forecast works
Research from quantum physics. The models are the result of several years of research at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and LMU Munich and were transferred to the stock market.
Spectra and correlations. Frequency spectra are calculated from current prices, and the relationships between price swings and volatility are analyzed. This produces the forecast and the risk assessment.
Detecting herd behavior. Models of phase transitions from statistical physics describe when investors collectively fall into panic or euphoria – an early sign of possible crash situations.
Swarm intelligence. User forecasts are checked once their time frame has expired and feed into the model, weighted by their hit rate.
