This summary was created by AI, based on 40 opinions in the last 12 months.

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.

COMMENT

Canada's premier rail company. We are in a tough economic environment and rail is an economically sensitive sector. Performance going forward will be somewhat dependent a turnaround the overall economy. This has already been priced into the shares with the pullback it has had. If we stay at this level, the stock should do well.

DON'T BUY

Too early to get into this. Stock broke down within his programs and has signalled a Sell. May have another 20%-25% to go before he would be really comfortable. FMV is actually hanging in quite well.

HOLD

One of the great rail companies in North America. Likes that they go east-west and north-south. Great cost structure and first-rate management. Economically sensitive but have been able to do quite well despite this.

TOP PICK

Railways are the backbone of the economy and continued to be very competitive against the truckers. Gaining market share because of low cost and higher reliability. Great management team and good balance sheet. Have room to increase dividends and buy back stock.

BUY

Canadian Pacific (CP-T) and Canadian National (CNR-T) are at pretty good prices now. If you have a long term perspective and are willing to live with some volatility in the short-term, over the long haul both of them are going to be very good things to own. CNR would be his first choice because of the management. Consider splitting between the 2.

COMMENT

Best run railroad in North America. Rails have a lot of economic sensitivity so he has cut his position in half. When the economy starts to improve he will replace it.

TOP PICK

Volumes were down 11% in the quarter and yet they delivered 25% earnings growth. Increased their dividend by 10%. Just completed an acquisition in Chicago, which will alleviate some of their congestion problems in that area.

TOP PICK

Just increased dividends by 10%. Economy is going to be weak and they will be challenged like everybody else but they will come out stronger, take market share and make more money.

DON'T BUY

Diversification through their acquisition in the US will help them. However, a lot of major companies that use haulage to transport are declining significantly. This kind of company will be in a bear market until the economy starts to bottom out.

COMMENT

In terms of corporate quality, this is better than Canadian Pacific (CP-T) with a better balance sheet and a more stable environment in terms of its underlying traffic. A value name, but could also be a value trap.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 18/07. Down 14%.) Has been a good relative performer. Recently sold half his holdings, as railways are extremely economically sensitive. May Buy more later on when it is weaker.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Extremely well run company. Very reasonable debt situation. Good proxy for the overall Canadian economy.

BUY

Likes this one on a medium time frame at this price level. In a better economic climate, you could see it in the $48 range. Good dividend yield. It will be volatile.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Trading really nicely right now. Starting to show some good characteristics.

DON'T BUY

About to buy the Elgin railroad south of Chicago. Would not be keen on this company because of the economic slowdown and substantial volume declines. There are better stocks to own.
