CSX Corporation: Focus On Buybacks And Dividend Growth

In this market, I believe it is key to focus on quality dividend growth and buybacks given lower stock price valuations and an expected decline in real dividends. CSX offers high-quality dividend growth and buybacks thanks to strong free cash flow and a sustainable business model. Thanks to the market correction, CSX is now trading at a very favorable valuation.
