Canadian Pacific Rail (CP-T) has garnered a mixed yet generally optimistic outlook from analysts. Many experts acknowledge the potential growth potential stemming from the KSU acquisition, which enhances CP's North American footprint, positioning it advantageously amidst a tightening freight market. However, some concerns linger regarding the ongoing freight recession and the impact of tariff negotiations on the sector. Despite these challenges, there is a prevailing sentiment that CP may benefit from a cyclical recovery, leading analysts to recommend waiting for a pullback to optimize entry points. Overall, while some express caution regarding current economic indicators, CP's long-term prospects seem promising, making it a noteworthy consideration for investors interested in railway stocks.

CNR

BUY

This company lives or dies by the weather and last year they were brutalized by it. Rail traffic is recovering and they have great exposure to potash and coal. Just signed a new contract with Teck Resources (TCK.B-T). Could see it going back to the $60-$65 range.

BUY

Rails are pretty much a barometer on the economy. We are in a very slow growth economy so stock prices have pulled back quite a bit. At this price it is a relatively good buy.

WAIT

He said he would consider the shares if they hit $50. Earnings are more cyclical than CNR-T. Well run Canadian business. We wont rush out to buy because of economic outlook. It is not attractive enough.

COMMENT

A duopoly. Good pricing power. Everyone worrying about an economic contraction has affected stock price. Had a couple of bad quarters in a row but are turning it around.

BUY

Very good stock but has been weakened in this latest downturn. Dow Jones transports broke down today, which is not a very good sign. From a pure valuation play this one looks very good. Loadings have been very strong.

DON'T BUY

Hasn't been performing that well. Any holdings he had was switched into Canadian National (CNR-T). A bulk carrier and will suffer if we have slower growth. Got ahead of itself.

DON'T BUY

Has had numerous operational problems with flooding and whether. Operating ratio has ballooned up. Prefers Canadian National (CNR-T) whose operating ratio is in the low 60's. Good entry point for CN now.

COMMENT

Canadian National (CNR-T) or Canadian Pacific (CP-T)? With an expected bump on the stock tomorrow, should the caller sell his CNR and switch? He has considered the same thing but CN is still delivering the better earnings. He would continue to hold.

WAIT

The problem is that their costs are going up because of fuel. Economy is ok, but growth is not keeping pace with increasing cost of fuel. Also they have to pour money into their pension plan. The driver will be interest rates. If interest rates go up 1%, they can stop pouring money into pension plan.

BUY

Affected by heavy snows in the winter and flooding in the spring. Prefers Canadian National (CNR-T) on a longer-term basis. Big difference in their operating ratios. Both are good companies.

BUY

Will have 2 or 3 quarters in a row of lousy earnings. A lot of this is weather based, flooding in North Dakota and Minnesota. Once they get through the weather issues, efficiencies will be back on track. Has under performed the other rail stocks.

BUY

This rail has the commodities side that is feeding Asia giving leverage that can work plus or minus. Good yield and at a good price.

BUY

Canadian National (CNR-T) or Canadian Pacific (CP-T)? He prefers CP. CNR deservedly sells for a premium but he sometimes thinks the premium is of little out of line. CP has never been as efficient but has been making strides in improving their operating efficiency. Both of them are a play on economic recovery. Has seen CP forecasts having them earned $4-$5 a year over the next couple of years.

BUY

Expecting significant growth and significant growth in cash flows in the railroad industry in the next few years. With high fuel costs, they will steal share from the trucking industry.

DON'T BUY

An economy stock but very much a resource stock as well. Didn’t have a great winter because of being totally focused in Canada. He would prefer Canadian National (CNR-T) instead, which is outperforming them. A lot more of its facilities and track is in the US.
