Description: CP Canadian Pacific Railway January 28, 2026
Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited (CP) operates a roughly 20,000-mile transcontinental rail network across Canada, the United States and Mexico, moving bulk commodities (grain, coal, potash, fertilizers, sulphur), merchandise freight (forest products, energy, chemicals, metals, consumer goods, automotive) and intermodal containers. The firm, formerly Canadian Pacific Railway Limited, rebranded in April 2023 and remains headquartered in Calgary, Canada.
In FY 2023 CP reported revenue of $15.3 billion and an operating ratio of 61.5 %-the best in its 140-year history-driven by higher intermodal volumes (+8 % YoY) and strong grain export demand from the U.S. Midwest. A key sector catalyst is the rebound in North-American agricultural shipments, while the gradual decline in U.S. coal consumption continues to pressure bulk coal traffic. CP’s network also benefits from the expanding automotive supply chain in Mexico, which adds to its intermodal growth outlook.
