Experts have mixed feelings about Canadian National Railway (CNR), largely viewing it as a solid long-term investment despite current challenges. The company is seen as having a unique and irreplaceable network, which is coupled with high barriers to entry and a decent dividend yield of around 2-2.7%. There is a consensus that CNR is benefiting from reduced capex after heavy investments, allowing it to accommodate growth with less immediate expenditure. However, the sentiment is tempered by concerns of a freight recession, tariffs, and a soft Canadian economy, leading some analysts to favor its competitor, CP. Overall, while the outlook includes potential volatility due to economic factors, CNR remains an attractive option for long-term investors looking for value amidst its current discounted valuation.

CP,CP

HOLD

Likes the rails. Has a little further multiple expansion and pretty good earnings growth for 2/3 years.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

What happens in this stock will depend on what happens over the summer. Has pulled back into a price range that he is more interested in. Would probably buy $3 lower.

BUY

Looks interesting here. Arguably the best railroad in North America. Reported great earnings. Continued good cost control. Commodity sensitive. Strong management. Could go a little bit lower, but it is a long-term investment.

WEAK BUY

Roads are essentially economy stocks. Prefers CP (CP-T) a little bit better because it is more centred in Canada. A little concerned about the US economy’s prospects going into 2007.

HOLD

Over the next 2/3 years, it may very well go through the old highs. Could be considered at $45/46.

BUY

Rails is a very good industry. Only 6 major rails in North America so there is no new competition coming and they raise prices at a pretty prodigious rate. This is the best rail with the best operating metrics globally. Good long-term investment but prefers Canadian Pacific (CP-T) or Burlington (BNI-N) right now.

BUY

Good value. The earnings prospects remained very good. The best managed rail company in North America. Best operating ratios and the best chance for continued ongoing profits.

BUY

Have always had great operating ratios. Not as affected by oil/gas prices as their trucking competition. Have done a really great job of cutting their costs, increasing the size of their cargo and giving more efficient engines to work for them. A great company.

DON'T BUY

Rails have been a leading group in the market. This one's earnings look very good but, the problem is, they may be a little bit over owned. Has lightened up a little bit.

BUY

Likes the railway business and this one in particular. It is the best run and has the best operating ratios and has the best long-term outlook.

BUY

His model price is $57/58, a positive 15% differential.

BUY

Just recently bought some. Doesn't have a lot, but quite happy to hold. Has some important traffic in the US. Brilliantly run and should be held long term.

WEAK BUY

1.2% dividend. The best run railroad in North America. It is benefiting hugely from the high demand of resources. The share price is very high. Favours CP Rail (CP-T), as it is still catching up.

BUY

Likes the railroads. The rails were starved for capital many years ago. They now have great pricing power. The commodity boom is really helping these companies out. This one is the better Canadian rail. It is better run. You can own either one, and do well.

BUY

The best run rail in North America. This is a good way to play the sector with traffic going east and west as well as north and south.
