Donald Trump Owns These 7 Stocks, Should You? - 4 of 7

Next up is Union Pacific Corp. (NYSE: UNP), one of the nation's leading transportation and logistics companies. As a major railroad operator, Union Pacific moves a wide range of goods—from agricultural products to industrial materials—which not only diversifies its revenue but also broadens its geographic footprint, both key to maintaining its competitive edge.

Of equal importance for investors is the company's balance sheet. Union Pacific consistently maintains a healthy cash position between $1 billion and $3 billion. That financial strength supports its dependable dividend, which has grown at a 7.17% annualized rate over the past three years.

That cash flow can also help mitigate any impact from the Trump administration's tariff policy, which could impact railroad stocks. However, in its January 2025 earnings report, the company reaffirmed it is on track to achieve its long-term goals of high single-digit to low double-digit earnings per share (EPS) growth through 2027.  

Union Pacific stock hasn't been immune to the economy's ups and downs. Over the past three years, UNP stock has posted a negative total return of 7.3%. However, in the last year, the total return became positive, which may signal better days to come.
