Canadian National Railway reported strong second-quarter 2026 results driven by operational efficiency and increased energy and grain shipments. However, much of the recent growth is linked to temporary factors like record grain harvests and fuel surcharges, which are unlikely to continue long-term. While energy volumes present a multi-year growth opportunity, management guidance and current sector valuations suggest limited upside in the near future. As a result, the stock rating was downgraded from 'buy' to 'hold' with a new price target of $126 based on 22 times fiscal year 2026 earnings.
