Reading this honestly
Every historical figure above is what NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP itself reported: per-share dividends declared each fiscal quarter; everything beyond that is the current rate carried forward and says so. Yield is trailing, computed against the last end-of-day close — a forward yield differs the moment the rate changes. Educational information, not investment advice.
