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

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.

BUY

A great company. Not as affected by oil/gas prices as trucking. As a little more leverage to Asia than CNR as well as leverage for cutting operating costs.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 31/06. Up 10%.) Somewhat economically sensitive. The whole scenario is looking pretty good and they are executing very well.

BUY

Just recently bought some. Doesn't have a lot, but quite happy to hold.

BUY

Likes the railroads. The rails were starved for capital many years ago. They now have great pricing power. The commodity boom is really helping these companies out. Prefers CNR, but you can own either one, and do well.

BUY

Comparable owning both CNR (CNR-T) and this rail. A good play on the continued expansion of the economy.

DON'T BUY

Rails have done very well because of the commodity boom. Trading well above its average 10-year price/earnings ratio.

BUY

He has a model price of $66.59, a positive differential of 17/18%.

TOP PICK

railway - good way to play strong economic growth New CEO coming in. They have an opportunity to grow efficiencies. 5-8 % growth If oil prices drop they will benefit. Hey bought at $34, and still like it. Says buy at this low price.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

There is excitement surrounding the rail sector. Rail is less expensive than trucking. CN is a more efficient company and better run but the stock is more expensive. Prefers CP as it is cheaper.

TOP PICK

Cheaper then C.N.R. He doesn't own it but his firm does.

TOP PICK

Bought 2 weeks ago and paid $55 for it. Enthusiastic about North American Economy. There are rumours about a rail merger to increase efficiency. Chose CP over CN because CP is less expensive.

BUY

Really likes the rail business. There is more upside to come. The pricing power is great. Their costs are under control.
