This summary was created by AI, based on 28 opinions in the last 12 months.

Canadian Pacific Rail (CP-T) has been the subject of mixed reviews among analysts, with some viewing it as a strong long-term hold due to its unique North American footprint and benefits from recent acquisitions, particularly its merger with Kansas City Southern (KSU). Many experts suggest that while the stock has seen some recent positive momentum following its breakout above $117, it remains vulnerable to fluctuations related to trade tariffs and a potential economic downturn impacting freight volumes. The current economic environment has brought a freight recession, causing some analysts to advise caution and recommend waiting for a pullback before investing. Despite these concerns, several reviews highlight the company's efficiency improvements from AI and a generally positive growth outlook, although they warn that the market context remains uncertain. Overall, the recurring theme is a positive long-term sentiment tempered by short-term concerns regarding trade policies and economic conditions.

Consensus

Hold

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

CNR

BUY

Management feels the second half of the year is going to be stronger.

DON'T BUY

Sold his holdings earlier this year as it had had a decent run. Likes company and management. There has been a total breakdown in the transportation index. Prefers CNR which he owns.

TOP PICK

Reported pretty good earnings. Prospects seem to be good going forward. Potash, coal and grain are going to be the big drivers. The efficiency ratio keeps going up. An attractive entry point.

BUY

Positive on both Canadian Pacific (CP-T) and Canadian National (CNR-T) railways. This one is not quite the same quality in terms of their route network. Has higher costs than CN but they are bringing them down. Cheaper. Good management.

DON'T BUY

Prefers CNR (CNR-T) because it is more diversified, both geographically and what they haul. This one is a commodity hauler, making them more exposed to the commodity market. This is the time you want to lighten up in cyclicals.

SELL

A very cyclical type stock. Very strong support in the mid-$40. Thinks it will come back and test that support.

BUY

On a relative price basis, would prefer this to CNR (CNR-T).

BUY

Has a pretty good outlook. Have had some recent problems with the value of coal and their Fording coal contract, but it looks like a pretty good year for grain. More of their transportation volumes are with higher value added stuff. Stands to benefit from Canada’s growing economy.

HOLD

Both Canadian Pacific (CP-T) and Canadian National (CNR-T) are exceptionally well-run businesses. If you believe commodities are going to continue to stay strong, then you should stay put.

DON'T BUY

A great company. This is more resource oriented then Canadian National (CNR-T). If commodity stocks are weakening, that makes this company more vulnerable.

BUY

Canadian National (CNR-T) and Canadian Pacific (CP-T) are both good places to get cyclical exposure without large multiples. Of the two, he prefers CP.

DON'T BUY

Would avoid railroads right now. Has been selling recently as he sees the bulk carriers not doing as well in the upcoming economic cycle.

BUY

Yield of about 1.3%. Trading between 12/14 X earnings. Had great growth in earnings over the last few years based on the commodity boom. Cutting costs and becoming more efficient. They will have over $200 million of free cash flow this year. Will be volatile.

BUY

Prefers over CNR (CNR-T). Pretty positive on commodities in Canada. Potash looks pretty good. Looks like a good grain year.

BUY

Likes this because of its higher commodity exposure.
