RBC Capital analyst Walter Spracklin upgraded Canadian National Railway to Outperform from Sector Perform with a price target of C$184, up from C$161. The analyst says a number of key drivers to the Canadian National story are turning out to be even better than anticipated and are not fully reflected in the shares. The company is seeing strong operating efficiency gains and solid pricing trends that are sustainable, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Moreover, RBC sees a catalyst coming in the form of "strong" Q1 results the company’s investor day in early May. It expects Canadian National to outperform U.S. peers on a volume basis during the remainder of 2023 due to solid trends in bulk.
