Canadian National R.R. (CNR) is viewed as a high-quality transportation business with strong fundamentals, evident from revenue increases and raised earnings outlook, although it faces challenges from competition, trade uncertainties, and economic cycles. Experts highlight a mixed outlook, with a preference for patience as recovery in freight volumes and GDP growth is anticipated, despite experiencing a freight recession lasting several years. Some analysts express concern over CNR's reduced guidance and external trade pressures, while others view it as an attractive long-term investment due to its irreplaceable network and historical resilience. Valuations have contracted, making it appealing for new investments at current levels, especially given its dividend yield and buyback history, despite volatile market conditions influenced by geopolitical events and economic shifts.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 09/20, Up 16%) A good day to buy this stock is any day that ends in "y". Your timeline for buying this is "forever". He's still buying today.

BUY

He owns CNR instead of CP. Some of the best businesses ever. Can increase prices, diversify. Hard to compete against them. E-commerce explosion has created backlogs. Good stocks to own going forward. Quality company, good management. Sees many years of good returns.

BUY

It is an incredibly well run company. It is hard to duplicate the business so they have pretty good pricing power, at least over the last little while. It is more environmentally friendly than trucking. It is a good buying opportunity for the future, He thinks they will continue to grow.

BUY

CNR-T vs. CP-T. It has always been a coin flip. He has always chosen CNR-T. You can't go wrong with either of them and they both continue to raise their dividends. He owns more CNR-T than CP-T.

HOLD

Top of the range. Very expensive. Rails are on fire. Volumes will probably exceed this quarter. Nice, visible growth rates. Hold if you own, but don't chase at these levels.

BUY

Transportation Companies? In light of e-commerce. Transportation is doing well. CNR-T and CP-T just keep going up. His model price is $161 or 14% upside on CNR-T. CP-T has a model price of $466.84 or a 15% upside.

BUY

CNR vs. TFII Prefers CNR in a recovering economy.

BUY

Rails have had many bad years, but now they've found religion in how they run their businesses. One of the best rail franchises in NA. Should see better volume growth, better margins, and free cashflow growth. Better consolidation and management. Has done very well and will continue.

BUY

They are expected to grow their bottom line by 10% through organic growth and buy backs. If you are a long term share holder, you should buy in batches and not wait for a pull-back. It is a great business and is resilient during any environment.

TOP PICK

The freight backbone for North America from Atlantic to Pacific to the US Gulf Coast. They work towards high capacity utilization, cost efficiency and technology enablement. They have boosted ROE to 23% over the past decade. It trades at 14 times earnings. This company is 100 years old and the iron will be in the ground adding to shareholder earnings for another 100 years to come, he thinks. Yield 2.01% (Analysts’ price target is $116.96)

HOLD

He thinks it is a pretty good company and the present crisis will not affect it as much as other sectors. Grain and so on will still have to be moved. It will be fine in the long term.

WATCH

The rails have held in relatively well despite all these shutdowns. Don't buy the rails until we see more stability in the economy. He's certainly watching this stock.

COMMENT

Rails have consolidated, so they have better pricing power. Rails are hard to duplicate. More environmentally friendly. Slower economic growth will make things difficult. Oil shipped by rail will slow down. This environment is a rough patch, but they're great businesses and will continue to be.

HOLD

Rails look fabulous here in terms of growth and valuation. You could sell them to put into a growth name. But if you have a tax situation, keep it, don't sell it.

DON'T BUY

He sold this by mistake on Friday. CNR broke support today, which is a big knock. It held off resistance for so long until today. He questions its growth long-term.
