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.

WEAK BUY
More geared to commodities vs. CNR.
DON'T BUY
When you see dividend moving up to a warning level for the sector, you be careful. Positive thing is that MACD is trending upwards. We’d like to see volume dry up as it moves up.
DON'T BUY
More of and East-West rail versus Canadian National (CNR-T), which is more North-South. This one is more of a commodity mover, which has taken a hit because of the recession. Slowly reaching a bottom so there is no rush to buy. He would prefer CNR.
COMMENT
(Market Call Minute.) Likes the rails and his preference today would be Canadian National (CNR-T). It's a question of being the bigger guy and having a wider range of distribution network.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 6/08. Down 45.2%.) Are Asian economies coming back? If so, this rail would be the better rail choice.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 5/08. Down 48.9%.)
DON'T BUY
Cheaper than Canadian National (CNR-T) but historically has not been as well managed. Also has heavier exposure to commodity prices, especially coal shipments. Also have some pension issues.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 6/08. Down 43.5%.) Particularly commodity exposed so got hit very hard. Still likes.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 8/08. Down 38.4%.) As economy improves, rails will be among the first to benefit. Competitive advantage in terms of long-term transport, particularly if energy prices go up again.
COMMENT
Just came out with a new issue. Companies that are not sure if they are going to have capital given their spending plans can take a bit of a haircut now in order to raise additional money.
BUY
Canadian Pacific (CP-T) and Canadian National (CNR-T) are at pretty good prices now. If you have a long term perspective and are willing to live with some volatility in the short-term, over the long haul both of them are going to be very good things to own. CNR would be his first choice because of the management. Consider splitting between the 2.
COMMENT
A little bit cheaper than Canadian National (CNR-T). A value name, but could also be a value trap.
COMMENT
Trades at a discount to Canadian National (CNR-T). An economically cyclical stock. With the economic slowdown, their volumes are going down. On any hint of an economic recovery, rails are definitely going to be there.
HOLD
Positioned itself to take advantage of the coal market in the US and coal is in the dumper right now. The railways depend on the commodity market so with commodities out of favour, this one is too.
BUY
Canadian Pacific (CP-T) is pretty close to its book value and Canadian National (CNR-R) is at about 2 X book value. He likes to Buy companies close or below their book value.
