Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited (CPKC) reported second-quarter 2026 results reflecting operational improvements and revenue growth linked to its unique cross-border rail network connecting Canada, the United States, and Mexico. The company achieved a 4% increase in volume and a 13% increase in revenue, with an operating ratio of 61.6% and core adjusted diluted earnings per share rising 13% to $1.20. These outcomes were attributed to disciplined execution, high service levels, and capacity growth facilitated by improved asset utilization and train velocity.

The company completed the consolidation of its U.S. and Canadian operating systems one year prior, yielding synchronization benefits such as aligned processes and enhanced real-time network visibility.
