Canadian National Railway ( (TSE:CNR) ) just unveiled an update.
Canadian National Railway and its subsidiary Autoport have issued their 2025 annual report under Canada’s Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, covering the year ended December 31, 2025. The report details steps taken to identify, prevent, and reduce the risk of forced and child labour in goods imported into Canada through the CN Group’s operations and supply chains.
CN outlined governance enhancements, including a steering committee review and gap analysis, and supported an expanded mandate for its Board’s Governance and Sustainability Committee to oversee human rights risks. The company continued to enforce updated internal policies, including its Code of Conduct, Human Rights Policy, Procurement Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct, and expects suppliers to uphold comparable standards.
During the reporting period, CN monitored significant tier 1 suppliers on sustainability and human rights criteria using third-party cloud-based platforms and high-level value-chain due diligence. It also engaged an external provider to assess forced and child labour risks among top suppliers, then deployed in-house questionnaires to those flagged as moderate or high risk to better understand and mitigate potential exposure.
The 2025 Supply Chains Report is being provided to shareholders using a notice-and-access approach aligned with CN’s sustainability strategy and cost-reduction goals. The document is available online and by mailed copy upon request, but it is not part of proxy materials and is unrelated to any voting matters at CN’s 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:CNR) stock is a Buy with a C$153.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Canadian National Railway stock, see the TSE:CNR Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on CNR Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CNR is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by strong financial profitability and supportive trend/momentum signals. It is tempered by higher leverage and soft recent free-cash-flow growth, a valuation that is not cheap at ~20x earnings, and a cautious earnings outlook tied to flat volumes, tariff/trade uncertainty, and a planned near-term increase in leverage.
