Canadian Pacific Rail (CP-T) is seen as a long-term play by many experts, although opinions on its short-term prospects vary. The stock has shown signs of resilience, having recently broken out above $117, and analysts highlight the potential for growth driven by its comprehensive North American network following the KSU acquisition. Despite ongoing concerns regarding tariffs and trade negotiations under CUSMA, many believe that these are merely short-term disruptions. Although some analysts prefer CN for its valuation and dividend yield, CP's strategic position and operational efficiencies make it an attractive investment for those willing to endure market fluctuations. The overall sentiment remains cautiously optimistic, suggesting that while waiting for the right entry point might be prudent, CP has notable long-term growth potential.

DON'T BUY

Some of these stocks that have done so well, are possibly fully costed now. Wait for a pull back. Be reluctant.

TOP PICK

Operating costs are dropping. Have settled their dispute on coal shipping charges. Should continue to grow.

BUY

Can see the stock rebounding and sees $55/58 a year out. It looks like the coal is maybe improving. They are taking care to attack the costs that are creeping up. On balance, they will show good earnings growth over the next couple of years and the stock will still go a bit higher.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

This stock seems to run into resistance at around $50. This is an economy stock. There has been a lot of commodities to ship. A good, solid, long-term growth story. If it gets close to $45, buy more.

BUY

Just started to buy it again when it took a dip into the high $40’s. Still thinks it's a pretty good buy. Trains are a lot more efficient than trucks. There is a lot more natural resources that has to be moved. Not as good a company as CNR but is less expensive.

BUY

Railways have done very well in Canada. This one is very resource oriented. He prefers Canadian National (CN-T) as he likes the US exposure and the broader aspects of it.

BUY

Likes the rails. The downgrade in earnings estimates is due to Fording's (FDG.UN-T) downgrades. It's a better way to play the cyclical moves on grains, coal, basic materials, etc. Cost reductions over trucking continues to improve dramatically and should continue.

BUY

Likes the railway business and in Canada in particular. Has a much higher exposure in commodities than Canadian National (CNR-T) making it more volatile. Prefers CNR.

BUY

Guidance for next year is $3.75/3.85 but because they are conservative, could still make $4 at the end of the day. In the $47's is a decent entry point.

BUY

The rails have been a great industry to participate in. Good pricing power. The Cdn$ can hurt them. The industry is partly driven by the commodity cycle.

BUY

Likes this stock and it could move higher.

DON'T BUY

Making a lot of money on commodities. Management has seemed to be able to get their act together this year. A little pricey.

BUY

Has done extremely well. A sort of a commodity play. Have re-negotiated a coal contract with more favourable terms. Operating ratios are up.

BUY

It's a coal and emerging economy story. Before this, its profitability was OK in terms of its level, but it appeared to be stalled out. Its only in the last quarter that the ROE has started to accelerate and today, its profit growth is the fastest in the industrial sector. A high rate of profit growth is the most important factor for future returns.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 14/05. Up 7.5%.) Kind of a chicken kind of way to get some cyclical exposure. A bit of grain, a bit of coal. Fairly low multiple.
