I downgrade Canadian National Railway Co. from buy to hold due to concerns about missing FY24 EPS guidance amid weak volume growth. Third-quarter earnings were mixed: revenue grew 3.1% y/y, but EBIT fell slightly, and recurring net income dropped, despite a 1.8% increase in adj EPS. Operational improvements in network health and fluidity are notable, but the near-term volume growth outlook remains uncertain, impacting confidence in meeting FY24 targets.

Social Security's 2.5% hike for retirees in 2025 is the smallest in years, barely keeping up with inflation. Higher Medicare premiums also cut into the COLA increase. Inflation remains a concern, and future Social Security benefits may be at risk due to the fund's projected depletion. Possible changes include raising the retirement age. Retirees must take control of their financial future by building a mix of income and growth portfolios to reduce dependence on Social Security and safeguard retirement plans.
Canadian National's third-quarter 2024 revenues are expected to have been aided by higher volumes across some key segments.
