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.

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.

COMMENT

If you are a long-term investor, the stock is not a bad idea. He would prefer Canadian National (CNR-T), which is much more efficient and more continental. Canadian Pacific is more commodity related.

COMMENT

Hasn't fared as well as Canadian National (CNR-T). If it reaches its resistance level of $66 it would not be a bad place to exit.

DON'T BUY

Primarily Canadian and more commodity-related, which he doesn’t like. You will like this if you are a commodity bull.

BUY

Approval to make a recent acquisition but now they have to spend considerable money to expand rail lines.

COMMENT

Bulk carrier of commodities. Ran into some problems with congestions in the Port of Vancouver. Mis-planned on having cars available. Cost of fuel has hit them reasonably hard.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 29/07. Down 14%.) Stock is down because the fuel price was up. Auto and lumber shipping was down. This is a western Canadian play. Still likes.

DON'T BUY

Not particularly interested in either Canadian National Rail (CNR-T) or Canadian Pacific (CP-T).

DON'T BUY

Rails are not particularly attractive to him right now. Earnings are de-accelerating and on a year over basis will be negative. Valuations are not particularly attractive.

BUY

Likes the rail stocks in general. Taking market share from the trucking business. Came through a really tough period and yet earnings are missing expectations by only a slight amount.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Would look at buying it but don't expect any substantial performance in the near term.

TOP PICK

Top Short Last quarter was their 1st miss in some time but it was a big one. Cockroach theory is that if you see one, there’s another behind the fridge. Increased costs and reduced volumes are a problem.

COMMENT

Moves commodities. A slowdown of the economy will create some slowdown in the rails. Expect to see more downside in the near term but longer term, you are getting to valuation levels that is attractive.
