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.

BUY

Q: Trade CNR (CNR-T) for CP (CP-T)? A: Likes both of the stocks but wouldn't trade. This is the best rail company in North America. Has the highest ROE and the best operating margins.

BUY

Good management. Not overvalued. Still looking for improvements in profitability.

BUY

Prefers this over Canadian Pacific (CP-T) as it is much better managed and slightly cheaper. On a going-forward basis, CNR is definitely the better choice. Better profit margins.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Will wait for a pullback to $71/72 before buying.

HOLD

The weakness is that it is up over 2.5 X Book while CP is 1.5 X Book. More expensive than CP, but it has the greater upside.

BUY

Best run railroad in North America on a cost run basis. Great margins. Good value.

BUY

Astounding the way they continue to deliver good numbers. Phenominal operators. Slow growth.

TOP PICK

Buy if you are bullish on the economy. Fabulously well managed. Always exceed their promises. Because of high energy costs, they have become an economic carrier. Have been able to increase their margins. Have substantially increased the price of their services.

HOLD

Long term chart shows an upward growth channel and it is currently at the upper level of this channel. It will probably trade sideways for awhile before moving up again. These channels can last for a long time.

BUY

Has lately been focusing more on CP because it has some catching up to do. A terrific company and they are talking about another double digit growth in earnings and revenues this year. Doing joint ventures with US rails as well as CP. Lowest cost railroad in North America.

BUY

Has pulled back, but has not broken his stop points. Best run railroad in North America. Lowest cost. Have additional capacity to take on new business. Shipping volumes are very strong.

TOP PICK

A cyclical stock that's becoming a growth stock. The outlook for North American railways in general is improving. The dynamics of all the trade coming out of the far east is calling for more rail. The best management and operating costs in North America. Has a lot of upside potential. Buy and put away.

BUY

Has done very well, in part because of demand for commodities. Just recently won an arbitration decision on coal. Prefers CNR which has stronger operating ratios and stronger longer term record.

TOP PICK

The industry is operating close to full capacity and have pricing power. This is the only RR that has excess capacity and with the lowest cost in the industry.

BUY

One of the 2 best rail operating companies in all of North America. Feels the economic growth will continue. Good price.
