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

BUY

(Market Call Minute) Limited downside of 5% / 15% upside.

BUY

N.A. economy continues to grow. This has been a great company. Year after year of raising dividend. Core holding in portfolios. CP is only in private portfolios.

TOP PICK

Just raised dividend and re-instituted their share buy back even after they've had the worst possible slowdown in rail traffic in the last 35 years.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 22/09. Up 33.1%.) Valuation is getting a little bit full but longer-term the quality of management and assets it's a good place to be. Buy on weakness.

COMMENT

Canadian National (CNR-T) versus Canadian Pacific (CP-T) on a 4 or 5-year hold? A question he wrestles with all the time but currently he would put his cards with Canadian Pacific as he sees at benefiting from a recovery in commodities. CN is a benchmark railroad with the best operating ratio and are diversified throughout North America.

BUY

On his Buy list. As the US economy recovers, they will be in a prime position to benefit. Has been weak lately giving a buying opportunity

COMMENT

Economically sensitive. Have all directions covered very well. Volumes are going to increase over time as the recovery takes hold. Good place to be longer-term. 1.8% dividend yield.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 1/09. Up 13.5%.) Good balance sheet and good management. Low-cost operator.

TOP PICK

Best run railway in North America. Will benefit with a pickup in global economic activity, particularly in the developing world. Trading at a very reasonable multiple. Decent dividend with a good record of increasing dividends.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

(Market Call Minute.) Would like it to be a little bit cheaper. A definite buy in the low $50's.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute) Some appreciation in railways lately.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 23/09. Up 36.8%.) Like the exposure to the improvement of the economy. Starting to see carload improvements, which can give them some great earnings going forward. Continues to like the fundamentals for the rail industry. Top-notch management.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Looking for further weakness in order to buy.

BUY

Canadian National (CNR-T) or Canadian Pacific (CP-T)? CP, the smaller railroad, is commodity oriented. On the longer term, CNR is the great railroad of Canada and this is the one he would own.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute) Best run railway in N.A and stock got a little ahead of itself.
