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.

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.
