Canadian National R.R. (CNR) appears to be navigating a challenging economic landscape marked by a prolonged freight recession and external pressures such as tariffs and geopolitical tensions. Experts suggest that while the rail network enjoys irreplaceable assets and pricing power, the current cyclical downturn in the economy is impacting volumes and investor confidence. Many analysts view CNR as more attractively valued than its peers, particularly given its recent stock price decline which is seen as an opportunity to accumulate shares for the long term. Despite mixed short-term performance predictions, the majority of experts believe in the resilience of CNR's business model, its historical share buybacks, and dividend growth as indicators of potential recovery when overall economic conditions improve. The consensus leans towards a wait-and-see approach, with recommendations to consider averaging into positions on dips.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Looking at this one very closely. Best railway in North America. Would prefer buying below $50.
WEAK BUY
Likes the rail story. Prefers Canadian Pacific (CP-T) as it is trading cheaper and has a higher cost structure giving it the opportunity to reduce costs even more.
BUY
The best run and most profitable railroad in North America. It's not too dependent on commodities. Still lots of upside. The industry still looks very healthy.
TOP PICK
A leverage play on the western Canadian resources and global growth. Low operating margins.
BUY
CNR is the best, most efficient company. It has great leadership. If economy weakens CNR could as well, but it is not likely. It should be a core holding in your portfolio. It is a buy right now type of stock. It is expensive but don't wait to buy it cheaper.
BUY
A great stock. At the top of it's class. He owns CP instead because it's statistically cheaper.
BUY
This has been a good stock to own for the last few years. Trucking and rail companies have been doing well. Well managed company. They own CNR and CP.
WEAK BUY
Believes this company will do well. He prefers CP over CNR. He owns CP.
BUY
Likes it, and will continue to buy. The dividends have done very well. Very well run.
WEAK BUY
He likes the rail. This is the most profitable North American railroad. It is a well managed company, but trading at the high end. He would prefer C.P. rail.
HOLD
This stock is a little pricey. It is the best rail but you are paying for it. He prefers C.P. rail and does not recommend owning both rail companies.
BUY
It's a previous pick. It's done well, he still likes it.
TRADE
Believes is the best railway in North America. It is a great company, and stands out well. Prefers CP Rail, because it is cheaper.
HOLD
Probably the best managed company in North America. All the good news is built in, so the stock is not cheap. They will benefit from the oil sands boom. As long as trade with China continues and the economy is strong, would hold it.
DON'T BUY
When buying rail stocks, it is a proxy of an oil stock. If energy decreases, rails will follow. It is too late to enter.
