price targets I know we've discussed this before - how analysts are frequently wrong when it comes to price predictions, but still.. here are the updated 12-months price targets assigned to CP in December. Also, has anyone noticed that housing is slowing down? Vancouver home sales are down 31% in December 2012 vs. December 2011. Isn't housing a major barometer of economic activity? CNR is flat in the lats 5 weeks but CP is up +17%? We all know that it's not rational behaviour by any stretch of imagination. Current share price is implying 25% annual revenue growth for the next 5 years. Is it achievable?

S&P2 | Upgraded from $95.00 U Previous Update: S&P REITERATES HOLD RECOMMENDATION ON SHARES OF CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY We raise our target price by $10 to $105, reflecting a higher P/E as well as increases to our earnings forecast. Excluding anticipated Q4 restructuring charges, we raise our EPS estimate for ’12 by $0.02 to $4.29, and ’13’s by $0.26 to $5.55. CP’s new CEO has overhauled the management team, and is moving more aggressively than we expected to strip inefficiencies from the operations. Due to the scope of job reductions and network adjustments, we think wider margin assumptions are warranted. However, we think this is already reflected in current peer-premium valuation. /K.Kirkeby Research Note Date: 07 Dec 2012 | $105.00 U | 07 Dec 2012 |
