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.

CNR

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.

BUY

Likes both Canadian Pacific (CP-T) and Canadian National (CNR-T). The whole rail industry looks quite interesting. The capacity utilization is very strong. Has strong exposure to coal and metals which creates very strong traffic.

WEAK BUY

Has been a major recipient by the run up in commodities. More of a cyclical railway compared to CNR (CNR-T). Would prefer CNR as a long term hold.

DON'T BUY

The rails are interesting. It seems the more expensive that fuel gets, the better the rails do. They have an energy advantage over other transportation. If oil gets choppy, they will too. They are in a growth channel where you buy at the low side of the channel and sell at the upper range.
