Experts have mixed opinions on Canadian Pacific Rail (CP-T), with a general outlook leaning towards long-term positivity despite concerns about current economic headwinds and tariff negotiations. The stock has shown resilience, breaking through resistance levels recently, and some analysts expect growth driven by operational efficiencies from the KSU acquisition. However, there are warnings about potential short-term disruptions linked to trade discussions, with several experts noting a freight recession that has affected rail volumes. Valuations reflect the impact of these challenges, leading some to advise caution and recommend waiting for favorable entry points. Overall, while CP's network and strategic position are praised, uncertainty due to external factors like CUSMA negotiations introduces volatility in the near term.

CP vs. CNR Rails look good here with the pullback. When the economy gets going again, they'll both do OK. Both have lots of room to go up.

COMMENT

Company has held its value fairly well in the market selloff. Supply chain within North America becoming very important with global tensions. Nature of business creates a stable/reliable business. History of company has endowed company with excellent assets (legacy railways).

BUY

CP vs. CNR For growth, CP gets the nod. Acquisition will build out their route and help growth. Valuations are comparable, around 20x earnings.

BUY

Company has huge pricing power and diversified business. Well positioned company going into the future. Recent acquisition will allow exposure all the way to Mexico. Would recommend buying as a long term hold for investors.

BUY

Best in class operator. Railway business under pressure given supply chain concerns, however not a major worry. Long term - company is lifeblood of Canadian economy. Continues to be one of largest holdings in portfolio. Well managed company that expects to continue to preform well.

HOLD

Great business, better than trucking. Good growth with KSU acquisition, but the risk is in the execution. Good pricing power. He owns CNR.

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks CPR split 5-for-1 on May 14, 2021. Since then, shares have edged up only 2.6%, but have popped more than $10 since the Russian war began on February 24. CP trades at a 23.82x PE and pays a 0.78% dividend. Currently, CP is trading right below $100 and is making new 52-week highs. It has jumped $10 since the war began. Given all the market volatility, wait for CP to dip before adding or entering. At the same time, don't expect explosive growth here. This is a long-term story.

HOLD

Railroads are doing excellently. Economy in NA is very strong. Excellent businesses. He'd want to see how the leverage ratio plays out with the KSU acquisition. If the deal closes, CP would be the growth story, and it might be the better one. He owns CNR instead.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Debt is manageable. Acquisition of KSU is transformative, as CP will be the only Class 1 railroad that runs from Canada through the US to Mexico. Lots of opportunities. Likely to see earnings upgrades over the next 2-3 years. Rough start to the year, but he'd add on a meaningful pullback.

BUY

Company is well positioned going forward. Current share price is presenting good buying opportunity. Expecting strong financial results in 2022. Tremendous upside potential in share price.

BUY

Believes exposure to Canadian railroads is a good idea. Recent supply chain constraints shows value of railways. Will look to own more shares in company.

BUY

A core holding. Still well priced with a good growth rate of 12%. Being ignored so could add a bit.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Canadians blessed with railroads that preform well. Great company and high quality business. Would recommend looking at stock to buy. High valuation, however good business model.

BUY

Acquisition of KSU affect dividend? Dividend payout is low. Dividend has grown 17% a year for 5 years. Earnings will grow close to 20% in 2023. Likes rails and transports. He'd be a buyer.

COMMENT

The question was on railroads. Likes Canadian railroads. Operating costs are down now. He prefers CP since it did a great job of acquiring and running Kansas City Southern. This gives them a great network of north/south as well as East/West corridors.
