Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Canadian Pacific Kansas City
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited for these reasons:

  • Recent insider activity shows significant selling pressure, with Mark Ashley Redd selling 52,000 shares and Laird Joseph Pitz selling 24,630 shares in August 2026, which may signal a lack of confidence from company insiders in the current stock price.
  • The company carries a high debt-to-equity ratio of 53.93, indicating substantial leverage that could increase financial risk and interest expenses, potentially impacting future profitability and cash flow flexibility.
  • Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited has a beta of 1.28, meaning the stock is more volatile than the overall market and may experience larger price swings during periods of market uncertainty or economic downturns.
  • The current P/E ratio of 28.75 is relatively high compared to historical averages, suggesting that the stock may be overvalued relative to its earnings, which could limit future upside if growth does not accelerate to justify the premium.
  • The company's quick ratio of 0.42 and current ratio of 0.59 indicate limited short-term liquidity, meaning it may struggle to cover immediate liabilities with its most liquid assets, posing a risk in tight economic conditions.
