This summary was created by AI, based on 26 opinions in the last 12 months.

Canadian Pacific Rail (CP-T) has garnered mixed opinions from experts. While many believe in the long-term potential of the company, particularly after the KSU acquisition, concerns about cyclical economic conditions and ongoing tariff discussions are prevalent. Some analysts suggest waiting for better entry points or pullbacks, whereas others see current levels as appealing given the potential for recovery in industrial goods and manufacturing. Long-term growth rates are projected to be modest at around 4-5%, but the company is expected to benefit from efficiencies tied to artificial intelligence and expanding freight opportunities across North America. Overall, CP is recognized for its solid footprint spanning Canada to Mexico but may face headwinds amid uncertainties in trade policies and the economic landscape.

Consensus

Neutral

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

CNR

TOP PICK

Having trouble with labor costs. Analysts have been revising their earnings down. Trading at a level where previously it has found very good support. At a good entry point.

DON'T BUY

Concern about oil prices and their ability to get operating efficiencies out of the higher cost base. Have had trouble getting their operating ratios down.

DON'T BUY

Would rather own CNR because of the quality of management, the assets they have and better exposure to the US market.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top pick Jan 26/04. Down 12%.) Like it because it was the big play on China with lots of coal and wheat. Feels it is a good play on stronger growth this year.

TOP PICK

Starting to get back towards support levels. Has a decent longer-term trend. Should have at least 10/15% upside within the next three or four months.

DON'T BUY

Concerned about the current quarter coming up. Have had some problems out west with weather delaying some of their shipments. Also concerned about fuel prices. Restructuring themselves a little better.

BUY

Trades at a pretty reasonable multiple. Good price.

DON'T BUY

9.1 X next year's earnings. Might be worth a speculation, but prefers CNR.

TRADE

Have not delivered on the cost cutting as expected. Rail stocks have come under pressure especially in a higher interest rate environment. Have had a lot of weather problems in western Canada.

DON'T BUY

A little bit of concern is that Dow industrials hit a new high but Dow transports failed. Some of the rails are showing weakness.

DON'T BUY

Have dropped more than other rails because their earnings guidance and their reality are not in line with what is happening with the other railways. Not performing as well. Would prefer CNR or Union Pacific.

BUY

Between CP and CNR, CNR is the better run railway and a little more extensive. Both are good.

BUY

A great entry point. With a possible strike at CNR this stock should move. A low multiple stock.

PAST TOP PICK

(A top pick Jan 6/04. Down 11%.) This is a leverage play to western Canada. Still likes.

TOP PICK

At a good price and there should be long-term profitability.
