CP Stock Forecast & Price Target
CP Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Canadian Pacific Kansas City's stock outlook appears favorable due to a year-over-year revenue growth of 2.7%, driven by a significant 6.5% increase in revenue ton miles (RTMs) and notable gains in grain and potash volumes. The company's financial health shows a modest improvement in the leverage ratio to 3.0x, alongside a substantial increase in free cash flow to $605 million, indicating resilience despite ongoing capital expenditures such as $1.4 billion on buybacks. Furthermore, projections for continued growth in intermodal services—especially with the MMX service seeing a 40% increase in volumes year-over-year—underscore CPKC's ability to capitalize on strong market demand and operational efficiencies moving forward.
Bears say
Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) has experienced a negative outlook primarily due to integration issues stemming from its merger with Kansas City Southern, which has negatively impacted earnings per share (EPS) estimates for 2026 and 2027 and resulted in revenue declines. Operating income increased by 5.4% year-over-year; however, this was below expectations, influenced by yield headwinds and reduced volumes, including a noteworthy 8% decline in quarterly volumes, primarily affected by tariffs and weak demand. Additionally, ongoing risks, such as economic volatility, adverse weather, and unfavorable currency fluctuations, pose significant challenges to future growth and stability in CPKC's financial performance.
