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.

Consensus

Positive

Valuation

Undervalued

Similar

BUY

His model price is $68.40, a 27% positive differential.

HOLD

Continues to truck along at about 2.5X Book. His Fair Market Value is really high. Extraordinarily well run railway.

BUY

Great company. Operates efficiently. Have done a ton of acquisitions and mergers.

BUY

Rails are economy stocks, so you have to feel reasonably confident Canadian economy is going to chug along. Despite concerns in the US, he feels Canada will do okay. Made a good purchase of a short rail line around Chicago allowing them to ship around the Chicago bottleneck.

WEAK BUY

New acquisition in middle of U.S will cut rail travel time by a day. Not a big enough change to really affect company. Big on rails. As fuel gets more attractive they become more attractive. Prefer CP. If you’re a strategic investor with long view (5+ years), CP makes sense.

COMMENT

Prefers Canadian Pacific (CP-T), which has the ability to improve its efficiencies. Nothing wrong with this company, he just can't own everything.

BUY

Likes the rail space. Over the long term, the best position would be in Burlington Northern (BNI-N), but currently with the strong Cdn$ this is a good company.

BUY

His model price is $63.40. An 18%-19% positive differential.

BUY

Has held up very well. The premiere growth railroad in North America. The best run and the best margins. Good price. Has a new port facility coming on in Prince Rupert, which will be a major win for them.

BUY

His model price is $63.20. Almost 20% positive differential.

BUY

One of the premier Canadian stocks. Returns have been very healthy. A proxy for the economy and with fuel prices generally higher, rails do a better job than trucks. Operating metrics have come in better.

HOLD

The premier rail company in North America. The most profitable, the best growth prospects and the best run. As it weakens there is no reason not to buy it.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 27/06. Up 20%.) If the economy holds together, it could reach $65 in one year.

DON'T BUY

Having some issues with carloads being down due to slowing economy and manufacturing getting hit. Now trading at a discount to Canadian Pacific (CP-T).

DON'T BUY

Transport stocks did very well up into the spring and then a number of them started selling off. Sold his holdings.
