Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited (CP)

In the past six months, CPKC's stock has been influenced by its fourth-quarter 2025 results, where earnings and revenues fell short of Zacks Consensus Estimates, though showing year-over-year improvement. Analysts have revised EPS estimates downward for 2026 and 2027 due to freight recession concerns and trade policy volatility. Despite these challenges, CPKC showed strong growth potential with a 5% increase in revenue ton miles, driven by intermodal, grain, and potash gains, and reported a record Canadian grain harvest. In January 2026, CPKC set new monthly records for Canadian grain shipments. The stock price as of February 6, 2026, was $80.39, with a 52-week high of $83.65 and a low of $66.49.

Demand for CPKC's products and services is seasonal, influenced by agricultural cycles, with a projected increase in Canadian grain harvest positively impacting grain shipments. CPKC broke January monthly Canadian grain tonnage and carload records in 2026. The company's diversified freight revenues mitigate sector-specific downturns, but overall demand can be affected by macroeconomic volatility.
