RBC on Canadian Rails' Q1 Carload, Performance Metrics

Canadian railways' revenue ton miles (RTMs) were higher in the first quarter, with RTMs at Canadian National Railway (CNR.TO) up 3% and up 2% at Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CP.TO), notes RBC Capital in its review of the first quarter.Volumes at both rails benefited from higher grain volumes on the back of a record Canadian grain crop, write analysts Walter Spracklin and James McGarragle. According to StatsCan, Canadian crop production in 2026 is expected to be up 10% y/y due to higher yields, the analysts noted.Performance metrics also improved in the first quarter, mainly due to better winter conditions. Class 1 train velocity was up 4% and terminal dwell was down 6% in the quarter.RBC is calling for a modest recovery in the second half, in line with recent PMI readings, with tariffs and geopolitical conflicts posing key risks to the outlook. Spracklin and McGarragle also flag potential upside, in terms of over-the-road conversion prompted by higher truck rates, surging diesel prices, as well as a pick-up in industrial volumes, that are consistent with current macro indicators."We continue to see CPKC as best positioned reflecting synergy opportunities related to the KCS integration, especially in the company's intermodal franchise."Price: $152.67, Change: $+0.57, Percent Change: +0.37%

RBC Outlines OR Royalties' Stance On Sector Consolidation, Buybacks

RBC Capital Markets said Friday that it hosted investor meetings with OR Royalties (OR.TO) chief executive Jason Attew and Grant Moenting, the company's vice president of capital markets.RBC said it reviewed key questions asked by investors and a summary of management's responses.When asked why OR was less active in 2025, the company said it would remain disciplined in its capital allocation.RBC noted that management outlined low success in 2025 due to elevated valuations and returns below target thresholds, increased competition and capital availability, and 25%of deals were unsecured, which is a non-starter for OR.As for OR's outlook for return of capital, management expressed willingness to repurchase shares to drive per share growth rather than pursue dilutive acquisitions.The company said it expects to maintain an opportunistic buyback throughout 2026, contingent on investment opportunities and internal valuation.OR anticipates royalty sector consolidation to continue, driven by a significant increase of new entrants to an already fragmented industry, RBC said.Meanwhile, OR's management believes that the opportunity at the Malartic operation in Quebec is largely overlooked. The company owns a 5% net smelter royalty in the mine owned by Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM.TO).Malartic is currently undergoing a transition from low grade open-pit mining to high gradeunderground mining, RBC said.RBC maintained OR's outperform rating and US$56 price target. The company traded at US$39.65 per share at last look on the New York Stock Exchange.Price: $54.70, Change: $-0.11, Percent Change: -0.20%

Stifel Canada "More Confident" in Bird Construction's Positive Outlook After Investor Meetings

DLP Resources Confirms Magnetic Body at Esperanza Project in Peru

DLP Resources (DLP.V) said Friday that three-dimensional magnetic susceptibility imaging inversion on its Esperanza porphyry copper-molybdenum project in Peru delineated a strong magnetic body, providing geophysical evidence for locating concealed porphyry bodies.The company said its invention analysis delineated subsurface physical property structures down to 1,200 meters depth. The magnetic body has a volume of about 4.4 cubic kilometers, whose strike, dip, and depth perfectly align with a typical porphyry ore-forming model."The recent aeromagnetic drone survey over the Esperanza project together with the 3D inversion of the data has confirmed a coincident magnetic anomaly with our alteration mapping, spectral alteration mapping and ground geochemistry," President and Chief Executive Officer Ian Gendall said."The magnetic body, potentially related to a potassic core of a porphyry copper system is estimated to be at a depth of 200 to 700m below surface," Gendall added.DLP said it plans to conduct detailed rock chip sampling and additional extension of the magnetic survey. Permitting for a drill program in 2026 is currently underway.Price: $0.28, Change: $-0.02, Percent Change: -5.08%
