This summary was created by AI, based on 25 opinions in the last 12 months.

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.

Valuation

Fair Value

CNR, CN

BUY

Rails have done well. They trade around 13 X next year's earnings. Likes CNR quite a bit more. Highly levered to coal and a lot of the commodities shipped out west.

TRADE

Going to do better than he thought they would a year ago because of commodities, particularily coal. Prefers CNR.

TOP PICK

Another way of playing the great commodities fever. A great commodities haulage company in the west. Well run.

DON'T BUY

Of the 2 rail stocks, it wouldn't be his favourite. Doesn't have the FMV to go much higher.

TOP PICK

Just broke into new all time territory. Above its 200 day moving average. Catching up to CNR.

BUY

Rail stocks should benefit from the booming China economy through shipping coal, wheat and fertilizer. RR's are talking about expanding capacities and both CNR and CP are both going to do well. Favourite over the last 6 months has been CP.

WEAK BUY

At this price, you'll probably get a couple of $'s. Trades in a range. If it gets back to $31, you'll want more.

HOLD

Long term chart shows a good advance from '00 to '02 but it is now in a sideways period. The investors who wanted out are out. Hitting small peaks. Be patient.

A strong buy in the mid teens. Will increase rates, and see more profit. Strong buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(past top pick May, 10 2004. Up 5.4%) Still like it. Would be acquiring in low 30's.

BUY

CNR has better operating ratios. Trading at the higher end of its multiple, but a reasonable buy.

TRADE

As long as the economy keeps growing, the price will increase.
