Experts have a range of opinions on Canadian National R.R. (CNR-T), indicating it may currently represent a buying opportunity given its recent price declines and historical valuation lows. Many analysts perceive CNR as well-positioned due to its unique rail network, strong market position, and capacity for growth once economic conditions improve. However, concerns about the ongoing freight recession and the impact of tariffs on the earnings of both CNR and other rail companies persist. While some analysts express caution, advocating for a 'wait and see' approach, others emphasize the significant long-term value of CNR due to its operational efficiencies and competitive advantages in a recovering economy. Overall, the sentiment is mixed but leans toward optimism for future growth as macroeconomic conditions stabilize.
One of the lowest dividend yields that he holds at 1.5%. Likes the company long term, but it is pretty rich at these prices. The dividend has been growing at mid-teens over the last 5 years. This company has great prospects ahead of it. He has been trimming his holdings recently. He would like to see the dividend at 2% before accumulating more.
The economically sensitive sectors in the market rested from December through May. Since May, we have seen a reacceleration in financials, industrials and transports. He likes transports. The rails have a real exposure to North American economy. This one has great north-south exposure, and has been one of the best performing rails in North America.
The rails are good. They are typically a little expensive in terms of valuation, but they are a great way to play this industrial theme that is on. You would be hard-pressed to find a much better run company than the rails, and there is really only a choice of 6. He would buy a little bit every day and buy little more on any pullback.
Has lightened up his positions in this. It got to a point where it was reasonably expensive. Thinks this has pretty well done all it can to improve its operations. With the new pipelines going in, the oil side looks like it is not going to be as accretive to the bottom line. It looks a little expensive for railroad. This is not the time to step in.
He is looking to buy this. It has come into his model, but he needs a little bit of discretion as to when to pull the trigger. It has seen some short-term support levels at around $106, which brought in a lot more selling down to around $103. If we get the procyclical bump in the market, he would stick around with this. Expects some weakness next week. Seasonality kicks in around September.
