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.

Valuation

HOLD

A little wary of railroads but if gasoline prices go up, it is great for railways. Concerned about their major US exposure. Probably a good long term Hold.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 26/10. Up 27.18%.) Recommended on the recovering economy and improving business. Rails have had good control on costs.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 16/09. Up 23.51%.) Still likes.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 1/10. Up 26.6%.) Still a Buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 31/09. Up 20.33%.) Another way to participate in the emerging market growth.

WAIT

North south, Canada/US. Prefers Union Pacific – he is looking at it. Used to own CN and is waiting for an entry point.

BUY

Bullish on the railways. Another way to play commodities. Prefers Canadian Pacific (CP-T) to this one but not sure there is a huge difference between them. CP made a very nice deal into the powder basin in Wyoming giving it an opportunity to ship an enormous amount of coal.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 1/10. Up 27.01%.) Still likes.

TOP PICK

Growth with their container plant and growth in shipping volumes. Good balance sheet. Fairly cheap. Free cash flow continues to grow at a 10% range and expects Feb dividend to get a 10% bump.

DON'T BUY

Rail traffic is exceedingly economic sensitive and he things the economy is quite fragile in the US. CNR in the US is the best-run railroad.

BUY

$77.15 model price and would buy it here. Dependent on economy continuing to grow. Sell in the good times. Buy again at $44.70. Model price is $91.45 a year out. Downside is $54.70 if economy suffers a shock.

TOP PICK

Economically sensitive. Most efficient railway in North America. Big play on commodities and inter modal. 1.7% yield.

HOLD

Best operating ratios compared to its peers. Excellent management. Good growth story and has the ability to increase dividends consistently. Volumes seem to be holding very well and look good on a year-over-year basis.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 7/09. Up 36%.) Leveraged play to the economy. Pays a good dividend. Recently came out with impressive earnings. Shorter term it is fully priced but a good long-term Hold.

BUY

It is an economy stock. Is not a bad buy on a longer-term basis. Probably better than CP right now.
