Analysts at RBC Capital Markets and TD Securities raised their price targets on Canadian National Railway (CNR.TO, CNI) to C$205 from C$195, and to C$205 from C$191, respectively.
RBC analyst Walter Spracklin maintained an Outperform rating on shares of the Canadian railway following its Q2 results.
"CN delivered on a solid beat and raise, with the raise being a higher order of magnitude than we had been expecting," Spracklin said in a note to clients.
"We like the CN opportunity as the cheapest railroad in our sector coverage, with the raise in guidance (and potential for further upside) poised to lead to a further relative multiple re-rate in our view," the analyst said.
TD analyst Cherilyn Radbourne maintained a Buy rating on the stock. "Record Canadian grain volumes contributed, but CN's unique multi-commodity/multi-year opportunity in energy is ramping up," Radbourne said in a note to clients.
