Canadian National R.R. (CNR) has received mixed reviews from experts, reflecting both optimism and caution about its future performance. Several analysts praise the company's extensive rail network, market position, and operational resilience, particularly highlighting the recent share buybacks and a strong dividend yield. However, concerns persist regarding macroeconomic factors like tariffs, a soft Canadian economy, and ongoing freight recession. While some experts express hesitancy in the face of potential CUSMA negotiations and overall economic uncertainty, others see current valuations as attractive, suggesting long-term stability. The cyclical nature of the rail industry, along with the influence of external factors like labor disputes and weather issues, adds complexity to the investment thesis.

HOLD

Best rail operator in North America. Stock has done tremendously well, especially ion the last quarter. Stock is a little bit ahead of its fundamentals now. Thinks Q2 is going to be very good, partly picking up some volume from Canadian Pacific (CP-T) because of a strike there.

DON'T BUY

Dow transportation average at a very high level from a historical point of view. So there are increasing risks going into this sector. Some other rails he would actively sell, e.g.: CSX,

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 3/11. Up 22.6%.)

TOP PICK

This is the railroad with the lowest operating costs in North America. Has good exposure to things like oil, sand or fracing and automobiles.

WATCH

Always been his favourite railway. Is concerned because the chart is so up and way. Thinks it may have topped. Sit back and watch how it holds its ground during sell-offs in the market.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 3/12. Up 2.39%.) Has a great, very long-term chart. The chart shows it is doing a very typical thing for CNR in that it tends to move up, consolidates, breaks out and consolidates again..

COMMENT

When you look at the railroads, you are looking at the underlying economy and we are in an economy where there is going to be very, very slow growth. This is the best run railroad so it is the benchmark and companies like this tend to be overvalued relative to other opportunities in the group.

TOP PICK

Great network running east west and north south. Will respond to improving US economy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 3/11. Up 13.89%.) Great company and he still likes.

BUY

Life cycle type stock. Bottomed Oct through Dec. Has turned around, has paused now so is a good time to buy. If good news continues potential to go up $1.30, otherwise it will quickly go below 80 cents. So use those targets over the next 6 months.

TOP PICK

CP has had it's run, CN has a decending triangle. Doesn't have huge expectations, $85 to $90

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Mar 21/11, Up 8.99%) Would trade into it from CP.

TOP PICK

Normally trades at forward PE of 14 and is at 12.9. Management was a little bit cautious in their guidance and he expects their dividends to rise. A bit of a pension headwind that the market didn’t like. Will continue to grow at 10-12% over the next couple of years. It is a bit of a moderate risk play on the global growth thesis.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jan 3/12, Down 4.37%) Has held for a decade. He not a buy and hold kind of guy. Beginning to do a bit of a healthy consolidation pullback. Probably will under perform for the next couple of months but will be a good entry point sooner or later.

TOP PICK

Down year to date. Thinks it is run the best. Focusing on improving customer service. Expects they can increase their coal share and potash share. Expect them to continue to increase dividend.
