Executive Summary

CANADIAN PACIFIC KANSAS CITY LTD/CN receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 47.7/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #2381 out of 7,333 stocks. CP's factor profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting the stock may underperform going forward. Existing holders may want to consider trimming positions or tightening stop-losses.

Business Quality

CP's quality score of 37/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of 8.3% (sector avg: 11.9%), gross margins of 72.0% (sector avg: 52.6%), net margins of 26.5% (sector avg: 7.7%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.

Intrinsic Valuation

With a value score of 36/100, CP appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 19.60x, an EV/EBITDA of 14.69x, a P/B ratio of 1.64x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.

Capital Reinvestment

With an investment score of 44/100, CP exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 1.6% vs. a sector average of 4.2% and a return on assets of 4.5% (sector: 3.2%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.

Market Momentum

CP is currently showing below-average momentum at 42/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at 1.6% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.71 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.

Balance Sheet Health

CP shows good financial stability with a score of 68/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.71 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 86.00x (sector avg: 1.3x). This suggests manageable leverage and moderate price volatility, making it appropriate for investors seeking a balance between growth potential and capital preservation.

Institutional Risk Profile

CP carries a short interest score of 60/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 86.00x). At $68.4B market cap (large-cap), CANADIAN PACIFIC KANSAS CITY LTD/CN offers reasonable institutional liquidity.

Dividend Intelligence

CP offers a modest dividend yield of 0.8%. This compares to a sector average dividend yield of 1.4%. While the income contribution is relatively small, even a small dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns and can serve as a signal of financial discipline.

Sector Benchmark Analysis

CANADIAN PACIFIC KANSAS CITY LTD/CN is a large-cap company in the Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #2381 of 7,333 overall (68th percentile).
