Tariff war cost Canadian Pacific $200M over past year, CEO says

CPKC's revenue was reduced by approximately $200 million due to U.S. tariffs despite a full-year profit rise of over 10%, driven by increased grain, potash, and coal shipments.

  • On Jan. 28, 2026, Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. reported fourth-quarter profit fell 10 per cent to $1.08 billion while revenue increased one per cent to $3.9 billion.
  • Facing a tariff-driven slowdown, the railway said Keith Creel, chief executive officer, reported about $200 million revenue loss and volume declines in autos, forest products, metals, and consumer goods.
  • Improved operating efficiency and crop strength meant a slight boost in freight volumes helped nudge revenue higher, lifting full-year net income to $4.14 billion and revenues to $15.08 billion, Mark Redd, CPKC operating chief, said.
  • The board of CPKC announced a quarterly dividend of nearly 23 cents per share, payable on April 27, and plans to cut capital expenditures to $2.65 billion.
  • CPKC's unique three-country reach means management ties its position to United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement talks, while Union Pacific's US$85-billion bid for Norfolk Southern and the Surface Transportation Board's Jan. 16 action highlight consolidation risks.
