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

Experts have mixed views on Canadian Pacific Rail (CP), emphasizing its potential amidst a challenging economic landscape. While some analysts highlight strong growth prospects, particularly driven by the recent KSU acquisition and a favorable North American footprint, others express caution due to ongoing economic headwinds and the cyclical nature of the railroad industry. Many see CP as a resilient player that could benefit from efficiency gains linked to AI and an eventual recovery in manufacturing. Tariff concerns and uncertainty surrounding trade agreements remain pressing issues, but several analysts believe that CP's strengths, including its network's integration across Canada, the US, and Mexico, position it favorably for the long term. Overall, despite concerns regarding current economic conditions, there appears to be optimism about CP’s future performance and its ability to recover once trade issues stabilize.

TOP PICK

Very bullish chart on the state of CP Rail. Canadian bellwether on the state of the economy. Good time to buy shares.

BUY

Very good chart and is recommending to clients. Seeing the chart make new highs. One of the strongest sectors in Canada. Technical work is suggesting new highs.

WAIT

Buy now or wait? Historically, rails sell off during recessions, so he'd wait.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Is a strong business, but waiting for shares to fall before investing. Commodity focused in terms of freight carried. Will be a good long term business, but shares need to fall. Expecting shares to fall more. Very low dividend yield.

BUY

If economic slowdown, why not reflected in stock price? Slowdown is being reflected, but not in the Canadian rails. CNR and CP are up YTD, whereas US rails are down mid-teens or worse. Canadian industrial sandbox doesn't have the breadth and diversity of the US. US investors are finding better ideas elsewhere in their own sandbox. CP is digesting its acquisition. Booking record profits, will probably slow in 2023. Typically performs better than market averages in bear markets.

HOLD

Holds CN Rail as well. CP is in the middle of a beneficial merger. Business is booming and EPS is growing so it is worth a premium.

BUY

Good model with excellent assets (not making railways anymore). Cheap form of shipping products. Strong business model with recent M&A.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

CP vs. CNR Not supposed to invest in transports on the precipice of a downturn. They've come down, but not that much. Wouldn't buy CNR based on valuation relative to growth rate. CP's acquisition is an amazing catalyst and how that will pay off. On price to growth, CP is compelling, but wait for selling pressure.

BUY

recession proof? The KSU purchase is under review. If it is approved, it will benefit CP. Rails are more defensive within transportation (you can't easily build rails). Also, rails have been able to pass price increases through. She owns CN and CP.

WAIT

Run extremely well. Quality. Valuation is sky-high, well above long-term averages.

BUY

He owns both Canadian rails. CP is completing Kansas City Southern deal. Likes it for extending their network to Mexico and the Gulf. Good synergies. CN has better assets, but CP is operating their network better. This may have changed in the last quarter, though. Good to own either.

HOLD

Hold in a recession? Economically sensitive. Pickup in activity over the last few months has been positive. This can be unstable in the current environment. Good to hold on to as long as you have a long-term view. Not a good hold for under a year. He'd need to see a discount of 10-20% before adding.

BUY

CP vs. CNR Rails look good here with the pullback. When the economy gets going again, they'll both do OK. Both have lots of room to go up.

COMMENT

Company has held its value fairly well in the market selloff. Supply chain within North America becoming very important with global tensions. Nature of business creates a stable/reliable business. History of company has endowed company with excellent assets (legacy railways).

BUY

CP vs. CNR For growth, CP gets the nod. Acquisition will build out their route and help growth. Valuations are comparable, around 20x earnings.
