This summary was created by AI, based on 25 opinions in the last 12 months.

Experts generally regard Canadian Pacific Rail (CP) as a strong long-term investment opportunity despite some concerns over current economic conditions and tariff negotiations. The recent acquisition of Kansas City Southern (KSU) is highlighted as a pivotal factor that could enhance competitive advantage and operational synergies across North America. While some analysts suggest potential resistance in the short term and the possibility of a pullback before buying, the overall sentiment leans towards a belief in the company's foundational strength and resilience. Several analysts note the cyclical nature of the rail industry, with expectations that improvements in the manufacturing sector and trade flows will positively impact future performance. However, there are cautionary voices regarding potential disruptions from trade negotiations and the current freight recession, which could affect volumes and pricing power in the near future.

Valuation

Fair Value

CNR, CNR

SELL

This sector is still in contraction. Doesn't see any improvement in rail volume numbers.

WATCH

(Market Call Minute.) He needs to see some turn in training traffic and would wait a month.

SELL

(Market Call Minute.) Would switch to Canadian National (CNR-T).

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.
