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.

Valuation

CNR

COMMENT

Grain and Coal, East to West Canada. Prefers Union Pacific.

BUY

Bullish on the railways. Another way to play commodities. Prefers this one to CN (CNR-T) but not sure there is a huge difference between them. This company made a very nice deal into the powder basin in Wyoming giving it an opportunity to ship an enormous amount of coal.

WEAK BUY

Very good earnings recovery. Last quarter was good but not quite great enough for this market. He has been looking for a little more juice, but you would be fine with this name.

COMMENT

Rails have done well this year. She prefers Canadian National (CNR-T). Benefits from trans-Canadian exporting. Have been taking shares from trucking. Expect rails will continue to improve with improved traffic.

BUY

Has increased their margins. Outlook for rails is very clear. Resources market needs to grow. They are going to do very well over the long term.

PARTIAL SELL

Basic freight hauling has been excellent and they’ve had a pretty good run. If you own, consider taking a little off the top.

BUY

He owns CN because of US exposure. He would be a buyer of CN over CP.

DON'T BUY

He disagrees with the markets on rails. He doesn’t see the reason to be all excited about rails. CP is more commodity related and more Canadian, whereas CN has more US presence

PARTIAL SELL

Strategically, when things move up, you can trim a little and keep the core position if you like it. He is positive on the emerging markets and this is a major shipper for that.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Canadian National Railway (CNR-T) and Canadian Pacific (CP-T). Both are coming in with very strong numbers on volume and yield. For a long-term hold, he would prefer CNR but would wait for a pullback on either.

DON'T BUY

Model price is $58.70, 2.5% upside only. Would prefer Canadian National (CNR-T) instead.

WEAK BUY

Economically sensitive, but have held up very well. CN is his favourite – less commodity sensitive.

TOP PICK

Looks very attractive. Down 10% at start of year. Pretty good earnings considering economy. Highly leveraged to fertilizer and grain prices. Can buy cheaper than Buffet paid for his railway. A defensive way to play a rebounding economy.

BUY

Canadian National (CNR-T) versus Canadian Pacific (CP-T) on a 4 or 5-year hold? A question he wrestles with all the time but currently he would put his cards with Canadian Pacific as he sees at benefiting from a recovery in commodities. CN is a benchmark railroad with the best operating ratio and are diversified throughout North America.

HOLD

Rail stocks are good indicators of economic activity. Rails have moved ahead of expectations. On the high end of its historical price/earnings ratio.
