Canadian National R.R. (CNR) has faced challenges including reduced guidance, strikes, and external issues affecting volumes, leading to a drop in stock valuation. Despite these obstacles, experts express optimism about its long-term prospects, citing its substantial network, good free cash flow, and a history of share buybacks. Concerns over trade tariffs and economic cycles continue to loom, but many expect that once such uncertainties are resolved, CNR could benefit significantly. The company's competitive advantages, such as high barriers to entry and pricing power, make it a potentially attractive investment, especially as valuations have adjusted lower recently. Overall, while current conditions reflect some pessimism, the long-term outlook remains positive as CNR is anticipated to remain a vital player in the transportation sector.

Expect it to move higher.

BUY

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

Prefers over CP because of their acquisition success in the US and the coverage they have in North America. Economically and weather sensitive. Deeply cyclical. Well-managed.

Likes both rails, but slightly better preference for CP Rail.

TOP PICK

Will be sensitive to the economy. Have an enormous network. When the economy turns, they will do better. Raise their dividends regularly.

BUY

Economic environment has improved, so stock has had a nice 3 months. Grain volume has become a little bit more secure.

BUY

Nice increases in book value from earnings every quarter. Trading at a very fair valuation to what their balance sheet should be earning.

DON'T BUY

The grain crop will probably be weak again this year. Needs a turn in the economy. Well-run. Has a great operating ratio. Would prefer other ways of playing the economy.

DON'T BUY

This and CPR look expensive compared to the US rails.

BUY

Expects decent economic growth.

HOLD

Freight traffic will be a factor. A long term hold. Well run.

Very dependant on economic growth. Probably won't rally.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Grain output should be awesome this year. Good operator. Has dividend increases. Would buy more on weakness.

Fundamentals show up well.
