MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). 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.

Larry Benedict, the hedge fund trader who generated $274 million in profits for clients and beat the S&P 500 by 18 times in 2025, says Trump's installation of a new Federal Reserve chair is triggering the most significant shift in U.S. markets in nearly 20 years. Benedict's track record around Fed moves is hard to ignore - 62% from a single position after 2020 rate cuts, 117% in under a month when rate hikes were signaled in 2022, and an 89% gain in 17 days following a Jackson Hole speech.

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

  • The stock has a relatively high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 26.12, which may indicate that it is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially leading to a correction in price.
