Canadian National R.R. (CNR) has faced recent challenges, including strikes, weather issues, and reduced guidance, leading to a volatile stock performance. Despite these hurdles, experts are cautiously optimistic about the company's long-term stability, citing its established network and the cyclical nature of its business. Valuations have contracted significantly, creating a potential buying opportunity for investors. While there is concern over ongoing trade negotiations and market dynamics, the general sentiment is that CNR remains a strong player in the rail industry, which benefits from higher barriers to entry and has exhibited resilience over the years. Overall, CNR's fundamentals are solid, offering a favorable risk/reward scenario as the economy stabilizes and demand for rail services picks up.

Valuation

TOP PICK

Pullback of about 20% from the highs. Likes adding exposure here. Good longer-term, strong company and strong chart. Yield is 1.8%. (Analysts’ price target is $120.73)

BUY

CP vs. CN It's as good as the Canadian economy. Ottawa's policies haven't been kind to our economy. CP vs. CN depends on their pricing at a given time. CN has a better network across North America, whereas CP is more Canadian. Both are good railroads.

BUY

Jan.7 optimal buy date. April 18 optimal sell date. CNR has held up very well during this correction. It has an uptrend trend, with resistance at $118. It's still above its 200-day moving average. The low price of oil can pressure its business.

HOLD

If you didn’t have it, it’s trending higher, and he’d buy it here. If this is a holding, there’s no reason in the world why you would sell it.

BUY

He is quite happy to own this one. CNR-T is more inter-modal and has more US presence, whereas CP-T is more commodity based and is more east-west.

BUY

CP-T vs. CNR-T. They will trade in tandem. CNR has $100 as an entry point. CP-T should be bought at $250 or $225. There will be a consolidation period for a couple of months so you can pick away at the names. CP-T has taken over leadership in terms of relative performance.

BUY

CN-T or CP-T? He owns CN and CSX in the U.S. He likes CN for its north-south traffic to the States--it's safer. CP is east-west (more Canadian). CN will benefit from shipping out Alberta oil to California. It costs $12 per barrel to ship it, but the low WCS cost makes it still worth it.

BUY

CNR vs CPR. He likes both CNR and CPR. They are bell weathers on the Canadian economy. There are high barriers to entry. It is an oligopoly between the 2 names. You can buy now and likely see double digit increase. With the recent pullback, a good entry point.

BUY

They met yesterday's earnings. They've come a long way in past years to become the best railroad in its class. This has outperformed the TSX in the past 16 of 22 years. Trades at 17x earnings. Expects earnings growth. Definitely
consider it, especially for the long term. He respects it.

BUY

Good balance sheet, well-positioned and growing dividends. Doesn't know if crude by rails will surprise earnings, though it's a tailwind.

TOP PICK

There's limited competition for them yet sustainable demand. Crude by rail helps given the lack of pipelines. Well-run with an extensive rail network. (1.7% dividend, Analysts' price target: $120.07)

BUY

She likes rails and owns CN Rail. Long-term, rails will do well, gaining business in crude oil. Rails will do well if the economy does well. They see good volume growth and pricing.

BUY

Railroads are drivers of the economy. They move the goods. The US economy is strong and so the railroads are strong. CN has a monopoly on the port of Prince Rupert, which is the closest port to Asia. CN will also be a big beneficiary of the lack of new pipelines in Canada. CP and CP are both gearing up to move more oil. This is more expensive than moving oil by pipelines, but it is necessary at this time.

HOLD

A great company and they have executed their strategy well. They have been moving more oil and sees them as a good long term hold. Not necessarily the time to buy.

HOLD

It's had an uptrend since 2014. Trade issue resolution with the U.S. will have a huge impact on CNR. A solid name. Stick with it.
