CN Rail Price Target Raised to $182 at CIBC

By

CIBC Capital Markets raised its price target on Canadian National Railway Co. (CNR.TO) to $182 from $164.

Analyst Kevin Chiang maintained an Outperformer rating on shares of the Canadian Class I railway following CIBC's Spring Industrial Tour and visit to CN's facilities in Winnipeg, Manitoba, which included several members of the senior management team.

"Our key takeaways from the tour were: 1) Winnipeg is strategically important to CN's growth strategy as it is strategically located with the capacity to absorb increased volumes; 2) CN operates a large maintenance and mechanical repair footprint in Winnipeg at the historical Transcona Yard which acts as a source of cost savings and increased operational reliability; and 3) we had a firsthand experience on how CN continues to advance its safety culture," Chiang said in a note to clients.

TerraVest Industries Maintained at Outperform at National Bank Despite Insider Trading Allegations

National Bank Financial on Monday reiterated its outperform rating on the shares of TerraVest Industries (TVK.TO) and its C$170.00 price target following a report Quebec securities regulators are alleging its executive chair gave insider information to his family and acquaintances ahead of a major acquisition."The morning of June 5, an article concerning the details of an investigation into Chairman Charles Pellerin for the transfer of privileged information on TVK, were revealed. As of the time of this publication, there have yet to be any charges announced by the AMF. Our $170 target is based on 12.5x 2027e EV/EBITDA, inclusive of a 2x M&A premium, without which our target would fall to $135, still representing a ~25% return to target. We are not changing our outlook on M&A or valuation method at this time as we believe in a likely outcome where TVK's growth strategy remains business as usual. In the unlikely scenario where M&A is halted, we continue to flag organic growth catalysts over the horizon in the freight inflection and the capture of excess data centre demand that provide upside to the shares even in an organic-growth-only situation, and thus maintain our Outperform rating," analyst Nathan Po wrote.(covers equity, commodity and economic research from major banks and research firms in North America, Asia and Europe.
