Canadian Pacific Rail (CP-T) has garnered mixed opinions from experts. While many believe in the long-term potential of the company, particularly after the KSU acquisition, concerns about cyclical economic conditions and ongoing tariff discussions are prevalent. Some analysts suggest waiting for better entry points or pullbacks, whereas others see current levels as appealing given the potential for recovery in industrial goods and manufacturing. Long-term growth rates are projected to be modest at around 4-5%, but the company is expected to benefit from efficiencies tied to artificial intelligence and expanding freight opportunities across North America. Overall, CP is recognized for its solid footprint spanning Canada to Mexico but may face headwinds amid uncertainties in trade policies and the economic landscape.

CNR

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.

COMMENT

Canadian National (CNR-T) or Canadian Pacific (CP-T)? He owns both, but substantially more CN than CP. Prefers CN because it is a North American Railway going east/west and north/south where CP primarily just goes east/west. Operating ratio on CN is substantially better.

TOP PICK

Bought today for new clients. Unfortunate bout of weather in the winter and now flooding, so looking forward this will be an earning machine. Thinks they can earn to reach $75/share. Nice long term contracts with TCK and POT. Rest of year will be much better.

BUY

12-18 months good outlook. Sees continuing expansion of economy in North America. He has been moving from CNR to CP to some extent. 12-18 months good outlook. Sees continuing expansion of economy in North America. He has been moving from CNR to CP to some extent.

TOP PICK

Much better to run goods on rails than on trucking. Have had some really strong headwinds, especially if you look at their last quarters numbers. Bad weather and fuel issues. These things are changing over the next little while and margins will expand. Trades at a discount to its peers. Decent yield at 2%.

BUY

Canadian National (CNR-T) is the better managed company but this one trades at 1 to 1.5 discount to CN. Rails benefit from growth in the emerging markets. $0.30 a share in dividends. Likes both companies.

DON'T BUY

Owns and prefers CNR-T, which has a better cost and is north south, not east west. CNR raised dividend when CP profit warned because of severe winter weather. CP is not cheap enough to switch to at this time.

TOP PICK

Great Canadian infrastructure. Relatively cheap. Moving things by rail is going to be essential in the next 10-20 years.

TOP PICK

Always has operating issues. With high oil prices, freight does better than trucking so instead of having a head wind they have a tail wind. Global economy is expanding. Got hurt last quarter because of weather related issues. Feels it is set to not only have great earnings but actually have increased cash flow and possibly increased dividends over the next couple of years.

DON'T BUY

Prefers CNR. CP had a hiccup with it being a bad winter. CP is east/west and CNR is north/south. He finds CP a little expensive.

BUY

Starting to drop but thinks it is all right. Major trend has not been violated. In a channel and the trend is still up. It will be a beneficiary of the Japanese event or anything going to Asia. Rail stocks still look firm.

TOP PICK

Trading at a discount to Canadian National (CNR-T) on a number of metrics. Interesting way to play recovery in volume in bulk, particularly grain and coal. Management has committed to lowering costs. Sold off recently.

DON'T BUY

Doesn’t see a big increase in the price of any of the rails. Cost containment processes have not been as good as CNR. There is better growth down the road. We are at the top end of the range of PE ratio. They have the headwinds of higher fuel costs. You can’t go wrong long term with this type of stock but doesn’t see potential in the next 6-12 months.

COMMENT

Exec VP Ed Harris announced his retirement and the stock pulled back. He likes and will continue o Hold.
