CP Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) posted a revenue growth of 2.7% year-over-year, supported by a 6.5% increase in revenue ton miles (RTMs), indicating strong demand across various segments, particularly in grain and intermodal services. The company's leverage ratio improved to 3.0x, demonstrating effective capital management even amidst $1.4 billion spent on buybacks, while free cash flow increased to $605 million, reflecting robust operational efficiency. CPKC anticipates continued growth in the intermodal sector, with a 40% year-over-year volume increase driven by its MMX service, and expects Canadian grain production to stabilize in line with historical averages, further strengthening its positive outlook.
Bears say
Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) has experienced a decrease in earnings per share (EPS) estimates for 2025 and 2026, alongside a modest operating income growth of 5.4% year-over-year, which fell short of expectations primarily due to yield challenges and systems integration issues following the recent merger with Kansas City Southern. Volume growth estimates for Q4 have also been reduced to 3.6%, reflecting broader trends of a -8% decrease in quarterly volumes, exacerbated by external factors such as tariffs on steel and potential economic volatility impacting demand. Additionally, key risks to the company's performance include adverse weather conditions, unfavorable currency fluctuations, and weaker-than-anticipated growth from critical markets, which could further hinder financial recovery.
