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.

Consensus

Hold

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

CNR, CN

BUY

Have had trouble controlling their costs. Top line growth was good. US investors are presently more focused on US rails because of thermal coal. Not expensive.

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.
