Canadian Pacific Rail (CP) has emerged as a topic of interest among analysts, primarily due to its recent performance and strategic positioning. While some experts believe that it has strong growth potential stemming from the KSU acquisition, others express concerns about the ongoing freight recession impacting demand. The company's valuation is seen as higher compared to competitors, and its performance is tied to broader economic conditions, particularly the Canadian economy. Experts are split on whether now is a good time to buy, with several suggesting waiting for a pullback before entering. Tariff uncertainties and the effects of trade agreements like CUSMA are recurring themes in the reviews, indicating that while CP has a strong operational network, external factors could influence its short-term outlook.

CNR, CNR

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.

BUY

Hot time for Transportation right now. Prefers CN but CP is performing quit well here. We could get back up to the highs. Just keep putting a stop on it.

COMMENT

Prefers Canadian National (CNR-T) because it has better North American foot print and is less dependent on commodities. This one is OK, but just not as good.
