Canadian Pacific Kansas City yesterday reported first-quarter 2025 revenue rose 8% to C$3.8 billion, operating income increased 15% to C$1.3 billion and net income climbed 17% to C$910 million compared with financial results a year ago.

The company posted diluted earnings per share (EPS) of C$0.97 and core adjusted diluted EPS of $1.06. CPKC's operating ratio for Q4 2025 was 65.3%, compared to 67.4% a year ago.

"Our talented team of world-class railroaders executed our precision scheduled operating plan to safely and efficiently move solid freight demand to start 2025, producing strong first-quarter results amidst ongoing turbulent market and macroeconomic conditions,” said President and CEO Keith Creel in a press release. "These first-quarter results demonstrate the power and resiliency of our unrivalled North American network." 

Volumes, as measured in revenue ton-miles, increased 4% in the quarter.

“We remain focused on controlling what we can control, however, the increasing uncertainty created by evolving trade policies and the heightened risk of economic recession make it prudent to amend our 2025 earnings guidance at this time,” said Creel. “CPKC's long-term value proposition remains unchanged. We will continue to operate safely and efficiently, as we deliver on our promise to provide premium service to our customers, bring new customer solutions and products to the market, and strengthen North American trade.”

Due to the ongoing tariff and trade policy uncertainty, the company updated its 2025 outlook. It now expects the 2025 core adjusted diluted EPS to increase 10% to 14% versus 2024 core adjusted diluted EPS of $4.25.
