Canadian Pacific Rail (CP) has garnered mixed opinions among analysts, highlighting its long-term growth potential while navigating current economic headwinds and tariff uncertainties. The company is praised for its extensive North American network, particularly enhanced by the recent KSU acquisition, which provides strategic benefits in the freight market. However, concerns persist about cyclical fluctuations tied to the Canadian economy and potential recessions impacting overall freight volumes. Most experts agree that while CP demonstrates a strong execution record and competitive advantages, it faces challenges from tariff-related disruptions and a softer industrial sector. Overall, several analysts recommend waiting for a pullback before making significant investments in the stock, despite its potential for future growth.

SELL

Is a great stock. Has had a great run up. Looks very good, but is seeing the volume dropping off. Take some profits.

SELL

Owns CN. CP is over bought and he would sell it if he were a trader. It took CN 5-10 years to get operating ratios down to CN’s, so CP can’t do it in 2. You might want to take the money and run. Getting the operating ratio down is already in the price.

DON'T BUY

Trading on hope and hype instead of fundamentals. Thinks it is expensive right here. Prefers CN

DON'T BUY

It’s going to be a long time before they can bring the operating ratio down. It is the highest PE of the north American railways. Is looking to trade out of it into CNR-T.

DON'T BUY

Feels the shakeup is good. He has been concerned about the total economy growth and this one tends to be a commodity transporter. Numbers have been poorer. Yield is in indifferent.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 13/11. Up 27.79%.) Has sold this and bought Canadian National (CNR-T).

SELL

CP Chairman has an uphill battle. I above his model price.

BUY

Believes there is room to move their operating ratios to be closer in line with Canadian National (CNR-T). Believes the proxy battle that is currently taking place is a real boon to investors. Trading at only 3.2X book value.

HOLD

Possible new CEO who made Canadian National (CNR-T) the most efficient railroad in North America with the lowest expense ratio. (This one has the highest, which is somewhat due to geography through the Rockies.)

HOLD

Doesn’t think CP rail is a takeover target. Stock has moved up quite a ways since the hedge fund has tried to displace management. You want to hang on for a little bit longer, but you are not buying the stock particularly cheap.

DON'T BUY

As good as management is, they will never be able to get operating ratios to the level where Canadian National (CNR-T) is. The geography has a major place in this. Feels the stock is getting fully valued.

HOLD

Concerning about both the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National (CNR-T) in that they are economy stocks. Interesting that the rails are getting into the business of transporting oil and could turn out to be quite profitable. He is looking at them again.

DON'T BUY

CNR is the best railroad in North America – the most efficiently run and good management so he prefers them to CP. CP’s efficiency is very low and need a change in management and attitude. Issued bonds today to take advantage of low interest rates.

COMMENT

In an uptrend but has some pretty major resistance in the high $60. Likes the stock up to about $60, $69, $70 but on a comparable basis, Canadian National (CNR-T) just took out its old highs. Would prefer CN.

COMMENT

Doesn’t think there is a takeover brewing. The difference between CP and CNR has widened.
