Academic risk and quality models computed from NSC's own filings and price history, not from analyst opinion.

Hidden Markov model fitted to two years of returns, separating bull, bear and sideways states by their own drift and volatility.
GARCH(1,1) 30-day annualised forecast, above the current 20.2% reading.
Fama-French 5-factor market beta. The five factors explain 25% of this stock's return variance; the rest is idiosyncratic.
