Last earnings call, Jul 24, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- CN reported Q2 2026 EPS growth of 12% FX-adjusted on 5% volume growth, driven by improved fuel efficiency (record H1 performance), labor productivity, and commercial intensity across metals, energy, and domestic intermodal. CN announced two strategic agreements with Union Pacific: a commercial agreement granting CN Mexico access via Memphis and a merger-contingent settlement securing Kansas City access and Neff Yard rights, largely neutralizing merger risk.
- Guidance
- CN raised full-year 2026 guidance to mid- to high single-digit earnings growth, supported by low single-digit volume growth. Management cited strong operational momentum and strategic UP agreements as catalysts for long-term growth.
