Director Fahmy Sameh buys 1,650 NSC shares at $282.97; stock down 6.1% from 52-week high with mixed prior timing at this ticker.
Director Fahmy Sameh purchased 1,650 shares of Norfolk Southern at $282.97 on 2025-11-05, increasing his holdings by 15.9% to 12,000 shares total—a material accumulation by a board member. At the transaction price, the stock was $282.97, compared to a current price of $282.10 and a 52-week high of $300.41, placing the purchase in a region -6.1% below the year's peak. His prior trading history at NSC shows a mixed record: 3 of 5 prior buys demonstrated positive 90-day returns (well-timed), while 2 resulted in losses, suggesting inconsistent timing discipline at this specific ticker. The cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of +6.1% with a 71.43% win rate, which is more favorable but not directly predictive of NSC performance. The company's fundamentals—$3.1B quarterly revenue, $711.0M net income, and flat year-over-year revenue growth of -0.3% at a P/E of 21.37—provide a mixed backdrop that neither strongly supports nor contradicts the purchase signal.
