Union Pacific Corp., balance sheet: inventory
US$ in millions

The value of materials and supplies has generally increased over the five-year period. While the rate of increase has fluctuated, the overall trend indicates a growing investment in these assets.
- Overall Trend
- From December 31, 2021, to December 31, 2025, materials and supplies increased from US$621 million to US$787 million. This represents a cumulative increase of approximately 26.7% over the period.
- Year-over-Year Changes
- The most significant year-over-year increase occurred between 2021 and 2022, with a rise of US$120 million. The increase from 2022 to 2023 was minimal, at US$2 million. Growth resumed in 2024 with an increase of US$26 million, and continued in 2025 with a further increase of US$18 million.
- Growth Rate Deceleration
- The initial substantial growth in 2022 was followed by a period of slower expansion. The growth rate decelerated significantly between 2022 and 2023, suggesting a potential stabilization of supply needs or improved inventory management practices during that time. The growth rate then modestly recovered in the subsequent two years.
- Potential Implications
- The consistent, albeit fluctuating, increase in materials and supplies could indicate increased operational activity, anticipated future demand, or a strategic decision to build up inventory reserves. The period of slower growth in 2023 warrants further investigation to determine the underlying causes and whether it represents a temporary anomaly or a shift in long-term strategy.
