Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (NYSE: CP) price target of $92.00.

Analyst, Brandon R. Oglenski, said, "With a material portion of Canadian freight rail capacity offline, we expect significant political pressure will drive an end to the strike in a matter of days. If history is a guide, we expect minimal financial impact for CP, assuming the matter is resolved quickly."

"With Canadian operations representing around 85% of CP revenue, we expect a full week of halted operations would cost the company roughly (18c) in EPS over the near term, or 15% of our current 2Q estimate. Although, we note the company is likely to make up some of the lost business in the post-strike period."
