Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CP): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Canadian Pacific Kansas City on Disruptive analytics's Substack by Magnus Ofstad. As of 9ʰ July, Canadian Pacific Kansas City's share was trading at $81.39. CP's trailing and forward P/E were 27.04 and 22.61 respectively according to Yahoo Finance. A railway track winding through a rough landscape with a freight train in transit. The market volatility may provide an attractive entry point for investors, and Canadian Pacific Kansas City, a company with a vast rail network spanning from Northwestern Canada to Mexico, is worth considering. The company transports large bulk items such as coal, grain, and automotives, which are essential regardless of the AI revolution and tariffs. Despite the acquisition of Kansas City Southern, the company's operating margin has improved, and investors should note that this is a capital-intensive business requiring constant maintenance and capacity expansion projects. The company's growth plan features significant investments in new sidings, double tracking, and terminal upgrades to support increased traffic and operational efficiency. When considering these factors and putting projected numbers into a DCF model, the company appears fairly valued. However, Canadian Pacific Kansas City can still be a good investment based on its enduring business model and wide moat characteristics. The company may not be a very sexy investment, but it can provide stable returns over time. The company's stock price has been relatively resilient despite tariff issues, and it has the potential to provide stable returns due to its essential business model. While it may not offer high growth rates, Canadian Pacific Kansas City's steady performance and wide moat characteristics make it a reliable investment opportunity. While this is our first coverage on Canadian Pacific Kansas City, we've recently examined another on a stock in the same Railroads that sheds light on similar long-term dynamics. In contrast to Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific Kansas City's business model appears more focused on essential goods transportation, with a vast rail network spanning from Northwestern Canada to Mexico, moving bulk items such as coal, grain, CP's growth strategy centers on investing in its rail network, with significant outlays for new sidings, double tracking, and terminal upgrades to support increased traffic and operational efficiency. While both companies operate in the same industry, their strategic focuses diverge; CP prioritizes steady performance and wide moat characteristics. Canadian Pacific Kansas City is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 65 hedge fund portfolios held CP at the end of first quarter which was 74 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of CP as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Canada recognizing Palestinian statehood right now would be a 'grave mistake': Israel
The embassy of Israel to Canada says that recognizing Palestinian statehood 'at this time' would be a 'grave mistake.' Article content 'Such a step would amount to an unconscionable reward for the heinous Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 — an attack marked by mass murder and the brutal kidnapping of innocent civilians, including Canadian citizens,' it said in an emailed statement to National Post on Wednesday. Article content Article content 'Rather than advancing peace, it would legitimize violence and severely undermine international efforts to restore stability and security in the region.' Article content Article content Abuamara has been in the role, which is to promote and strengthen relations between Palestinians and Canada, since 2021. It is coming to an end after her four-year term. She was appointed by a government that only has control of the West Bank, not the Gaza Strip, CP said. She is still pushing for Canada to take a harsher stance on Israel's actions in Gaza, and has commended Canada for its recent use of 'tougher language.' Article content Article content 'Accountability means everything to the Palestinian people. That's all we are looking for,' said Abuamara. 'Canada could have done better and must do better.' Article content Article content Canada's approach to the conflict in recent years has been to support Israel 'without budging,' she said. Meanwhile, the Palestinian territories received funding for smaller projects, such as police training. The mentality was that the Palestinian territories would be 'managed under the occupation,' she said, adding that she was looking to Canada to 'get rid of that occupation instead, so we could make our own money.' Israel maintains that it withdrew from Gaza in 2005. Article content Abuamara praised the Carney government for making 'stronger, clearer statements,' and mentioned comments made by Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand. Speaking to reporters in May, Anand said Israel used food as a political tool and that more than 50,000 people have died as a result of Israel's 'aggression.' That number, which cannot be independently verified, was provided by the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry.

He urged every CPI worker to strengthen the party. CPI district secretary S Vilas stated that Nirmal once had a PG college that served tribal and underprivileged communities, but it was shifted to Warangal due to political motives.

NHRC holds interactive dialogue on ASD, CP
DOHA: The National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) organised an interactive dialogue on the particularity of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Cerebral Palsy (CP), with the participation of the Supreme Judicial Council and the Ministries of Interior; Education and Higher Education; Social Development and Family; and Public Health, along with the Public Prosecution and a number of parents. At the outset of his speech, Director of the Legal Affairs Department at NHRC, Nasser Marzouk Sultan Al Marri expressed gratitude to the parents of children with ASD and CP for their deep concern for their children's surroundings and future, in addition to those parents' continuous efforts to provide the best means and supportive approaches to meet their children's needs, adding that those parents embody true unconditional love and steadfast belief in their children's abilities, despite challenges. Al Marri expressed hope that this inaugural dialogue would serve as an effective platform to shed light on the core challenges facing children with ASD and CP, discussing optimal ways to address them, and coming up with clear recommendations that would contribute to removing the obstacles facing this group. He also hoped that the interactive dialogue's recommendations receive serious follow-up and prompt response from concerned authorities. For his part, head of the legislation and legal studies and research department at NHRC Abdulrahman Al Hashemi said that this meeting aims to address ASD and CP and to highlight the current challenges facing this group, emphasizing the importance of proposing solutions based on expertise, knowledge, and best practices in order to reach constructive visions that pave the way for broader prospects in addressing these vital issues. Al Hashemi indicated that this interactive dialogue is part of NHRC's 2024-2030 Strategic Plan and reflects its conviction in the importance of community partnership based on human rights' principles and values, as well as NHRC's responsibility to respond to complaints and petitions it receives, ensuring coordination and integration with the relevant humanitarian and social authorities. Participants in the interactive dialogue recommended addressing the training and rehabilitation gap that exists for persons with disabilities over the age of 21 by establishing specialized centers for that purpose, which would offer comprehensive programs according to the latest international standards, with those programs including occupational and physical therapy in addition to vocational training. Until such proposed government centers are established, participants called for a transitional period that would see persons with disabilities who are over the age of 21 receive temporary programs at the Shafallah Centerfor Persons with Disabilities that include training as well as occupational and physical therapies. Moreover, participants also suggested that a partnership is created between Shafallah Center and private centers to provide this segment of society with joint training and rehabilitation services during this period. They further suggested that specialists from private centers make regular visits to Shafallah Center for training and the exchange of expertise and advocated the provision of educational vouchers to cover the cost of training and rehabilitation at private centers for cases that require these services, thus, ensuring that persons with disabilities receive needed support regardless of their families' financial capabilities. The participants in the interactive dialogue also called for creating a guide on ASD and a hotline to receive complaints and provide psychological support to individuals and their families. They highlighted the importance of encouraging partnerships with the private sector to develop training and rehabilitation programs tailored to the individual needs of this group in line with labor market demands. Participants also recommended launching awareness campaigns to emphasize the importance of continuous rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities and to showcase success stories that demonstrate how such programs can transform lives.
