Canadian Pacific Rail (CP.TO)

Quality name that has gone on sale. Q3 was very strong with improvising efficiencies. They are doing a buy back. Modeling 16% growth with a name trading at 14 times 2019 earnings. If the economy is fine, which it is their base case, this is a name you want to be buying now. (Analysts’ price target is $312.47)

CN-T or CP-T? He owns CN and CSX in the U.S. He likes CN for its north-south traffic to the States--it's safer. CP is east-west (more Canadian). CN will benefit from shipping out Alberta oil to California. It costs $12 per barrel to ship it, but the low WCS cost makes it still worth it.

They tend to do well this time of the year. We saw it come down. This is common right now. He is favourable for this one.

CNR vs CPR. He likes both CNR and CPR. They are bell weathers on the Canadian economy. There are high barriers to entry. It is an oligopoly between the 2 names. You can buy now and likely see double digit increase. With the recent pullback, a good entry point.

He likes the rail. He is interested in this pullback as they were a little overvalued. The bigger play here is them going to grain shippers and other long-term contracts leveraging on the current crude contracts.

[The guest could not make any comment about this selection as a top pick due to time constraints].

They lowered their operating ratio target, which is good, so the stock rose. She likes rails and actually owns CN Rail. Long-term, rails will do well, gaining business in crude oil. Rails will do well if the economy does well. They see good volume growth and pricing. Maybe not buy more but wait instead.

Volumes are on fire. Might raise guidance. Not expensive. Still discounts to CNR. Has raised his target price. Models 14% EPS growth. Higher margins. Modelling 8% topline revenue growth. You can buy it here, try for a pullback. It’s a name that will go higher.

Up 20% YTD. The TransMountain delay helps them. CP is his preferred railway. They don't have the logjams to get deliveries moving, unlike CN. It's gone too far, too quickly though, so for this reason he recommends looking at CN. Both are proxies on the Canadian economy. A NAFTA resolution would be a big boost. Both rails are good.

It has done very well in the past months given the economy improving. A duopoly, good economics. He likes Transforce Inc. (TSX: TFI) in the space that has just had a whopper quarter.
