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

Likes the quality of management as well as their exposure to the US market.

BUY

Transportation business should be quite good. Likes both CP & CNR but favors CP which has dropped in price and should have more upside.

BUY

Has the best management in the railways in North America. Very good exposure to the US markets. A strike is hurting the stock presently. The drop is a good opportunity to buy.

BUY

Prefers over CP because of the quality of management, the assets they have and better exposure to the US market.

TOP PICK

Likes the B.C. rail acquisition as it gives them the opportunity to build into Kitimat or Prince Rupert, as a deep water port gives them better access to China.

TOP PICK

Have a wonderful infrastructure throughout North America. A little weak because of the strike. As the economy gets stronger, things should improve. A good core holding.

WATCH

On her watch list. Generally, when a company is facing a strike, the price tends to react sharply. Very interesting.

BUY

Between CP and CNR, CNR is the better run railway and a little more extensive. Both are good.

BUY

Watch for the strength of the Canadian dollar as well as energy costs. Should continue to go up.

WEAK BUY

Like long term, as long as business cycle does well. Like the company. Business cycle should do well for 2-4 years.

BUY

Reported great earings. Beautifully run company. Operating is best in North America. Don't own but are looking at it.

HOLD

Price earnings ratio is 13X next year's earnings which is higher than its peers. Take part of the profit and spread it among its peers.

BUY

Has a slight preference for CP Rail as it is down more.

BUY

Expect it to move higher.

BUY

Likes both railroads. They should improve from increased grain shipments. Economically sensitive. Strong management.
