CP Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) demonstrates robust growth potential, driven by strong performance in various segments, including a remarkable +40% year-over-year increase in their MMX train services and a growing Americold reefer business. The railroad has experienced a steady increase in revenues, showing a +1% year-over-year rise due to elevated pricing, with management noting that renewals exceeded the long-term forecast of +3% to +4%. Additionally, significant volume growth, particularly in grain and potash shipments, has contributed to a +5% increase in revenue ton-miles (RTMs) during Q3, supported by a record Canadian grain harvest and enhanced intermodal activity.
Bears say
The analysis indicates a negative outlook for Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), primarily due to downward revisions in earnings per share (EPS) estimates, with 2026 projections decreased from $5.44 to $5.29 and 2027 estimates lowered from $6.27 to $6.19. Additionally, the anticipated volume growth for Q4 has been adjusted downwards from 4.2% to 3.6%, revealing concerns over the freight recession and uncertainties related to tariff and trade policies, which may hinder overall growth. Overall, the EPS figures reflect a trend of missing consensus expectations, with a current EPS of $1.33 falling short of the projected $1.35, highlighting the challenges the company faces in a slowing economic environment.
