BMO Capital Upgrades This Canadian Transportation Company To Outperform - Read Why

• BMO Capital analyst Fadi Chamoun upgraded Canadian National Railway Co (TSX:CNR) (NYSE:CNI) to Outperform from Market Perform.
• The analyst maintained the Price Target for CNR at C$170.
• While maintaining the C$170 target price, the analyst sees a potential upside of C$190-C$200 if the demand environment remains favorable and the company executes on the large self-help opportunity.
• In a more muted demand environment, the analyst believes the downside is limited as initiatives to improve efficiency and revenue quality should enable the company to defend its earnings power.
