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.

Positive

Valuation

Undervalued

Similar

BUY

Both Canadian National (CNR-T) and Canadian Pacific (CP-T) had negative earnings revisions in the 1st quarter. A lot of it was weather related (coal shipment for CP). Still sees 5%-10% earnings growth.

HOLD

A blue-chip Canadian company that will benefit from resurgence in the North American economy.

TOP PICK

A good value stock at 13-14 X earnings. They announced the 1st quarter was going to be down 5% to 10%, which pushed the stock down. A decent economy in North America will get you decent earnings growth and a $60 stock.

HOLD

First-quarter was affected by weather problems. Expects they will continue to do well. The economy is fine.

BUY

Good entry point. Longer term, both rails will do extremely well.

BUY

Superbly managed company. Best in class in North America. Lowest operating ratios. Earnings will be a little weak with the impact of the strike, but only temporarily. Feels it will continue to rise on a fairly consistent basis. Economically sensitive.

HOLD

The stock is sitting on its resistance point, so has support. Tremendous upside potential based on his FMV. Remember, if the market suspects there is any potential weakness, it tends to be chary about paying too much. If it drops to $49-$50, Sell.

COMMENT

The recent strike will cause an earnings hit, but not enough to hurt the stock.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 31/06. Down 0.7%.) Best railroad in North America. Best profit margins and growth prospects. If forthcoming strike depresses stock price, that will be a buying opportunity.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Best railroad in North America. Not inexpensive, so if you are going to buy it, you have to be comfortable and confident the economy and commodities are going to stay reasonably robust. Would look for a 10% correction to buy.

COMMENT

The chart is trying to tell us that the economy is not doing as well as we might think. If it breaks out, it will be the last run for it. The massive patterns are Elliott 4th Wave. Watch the long bonds and be prepared to let it go.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 22/06. Up 13.8%.) Latest earnings were very impressive. Best railroad in North America. Taking market share from trucking. Still likes.

TOP PICK

#1 railway in North America. Best run with best operations, best margins and best growth prospects. Prince Rupert terminal is opening up next year giving good growth opportunity. Premium earnings growth so it should sell at a premium valuation, which it doesn't.

BUY

Incredibly efficient. Has ports in the East and West tied up well. If the economy slows down, railroads slow down as well. Cash flow yield of about 10%.

HOLD

An area that is extremely levered to the state of the economy. There is a period last year were the economy was weaker and the chart shows a downtrend. Now the economy is surprising people and rails/transports have been doing quite well and will probably continue for a couple of months.
