3 Blue-Chip Stocks Every Canadian Should Own
3 Blue-Chip Stocks Every Canadian Should Own
Canadian Pacific is a unique railroad stock because of its above-industry growth potential. Last year, it acquired the Kansas City Southern network. The railway has expanded its network from Canada, across the U.S. and Mexico.
Every Canadian investor should have a couple of blue-chip stocks in their portfolio. Blue-chip stocks are attractive because they are large, established businesses that are not likely to disappear anytime soon.
加拿大投资者应该在其股票组合中拥有几支蓝筹股。蓝筹股非常有吸引力，因为它们是规模大、经营稳定的企业，不太可能随时消失。
They may not be the fastest-growing companies, but they tend to steadily deliver for shareholders. If you are looking for some top blue-chip stocks to own, here are three Canadian stocks.
它们可能不是增长最快的公司，但它们往往能持续为股东带来收益。如果你正在寻找一些顶级的蓝筹股，这里有三个加拿大的股票。
These two blue-chip stocks are some of Canada's oldest companies
这两只蓝筹股是加拿大最古老的公司之一。
Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX:CP) and Canadian National Railway (TSX:CNR) are some of Canadaâs longest-running businesses. Even after 100 years, their transportation networks remain crucial to the Canadian and North American economy. This makes them ideal blue-chip stocks.
加拿大太平洋铁路(TSX:CP)和加拿大国家铁路(TSX:CNR)是加拿大和北美经济的重要支柱，是加拿大最长寿的企业之一。即使经过100年，它们的运输网络仍然对加拿大和北美经济至关重要。这使它们成为理想的蓝筹股。
CP: A faster-than-average growth rate
CP：高于平均增长率
Canadian Pacific is a unique railroad stock because of its above-industry growth potential. Last year, it acquired the Kansas City Southern network. The railway has expanded its network from Canada, across the U.S. and Mexico.
加拿大太平洋铁路是一只独特的铁路股，因为它具有高于行业的增长潜力。去年，它收购了堪萨斯城南线网络。这家铁路公司已经将其网络从加拿大扩展到美国和墨西哥。
Nearshoring and localized manufacturing are new trends that should support CPâs network. Despite a short-term freight/transport recession, CP continues to focus on annualized mid-teens growth for the next four to five years.
近岸制造和本地化制造是支持加拿大太平洋铁路网络的新趋势。尽管短期的货运/运输衰退，CP仍然专注于未来四到五年年化中十几%的增长。
This isnât the cheapest blue-chip stock. However, if it can hit its long-term targets, shareholders will be pleased they owned this stock.
这并不是最便宜的蓝筹股。然而，如果它能达到长期目标，股东会很高兴拥有这支股票。
CN: Cheaper but growing slower
CN：更便宜但增长较慢
Canadian National stock is almost five multiples cheaper than CP. Its 2% dividend yield is substantially larger. CNR also has a better dividend growth track record. Its dividend per share has grown by a 13% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past decade. If you want a growing stream of dividends, Canadian National is the stock to own.
加拿大国家铁路股票价格几乎是加拿大太平洋铁路的五倍之多。其2%的股息收益率显著更高。CNR还有更好的股息增长记录，过去十年的每股股息增长率为13%。如果你想获得不断增长的股息，加拿大国家铁路是你应该拥有的股票。
While it has a strong network across Canada and the U.S., the CP merger does weaken its position to an extent. The good news is that CN has an industry-leading balance sheet. While it may push solid single-digit revenue growth, it can use tactical share buybacks to elevate earnings per share growth.
虽然它在加拿大和美国拥有强大的网络，但CP的并购确实削弱了其地位。好消息是，CNR拥有业内领先的资产负债表。虽然可能推动稳健的单位数字收入增长，但它可以使用战术性股票回购来提高每股收益增长。
CN has an intelligent management team working to maximize its network velocity and capacity. If this blue-chip company can continue improving operating results, shareholders will continue to do well holding this stock.
加拿大国家铁路拥有一个智能的管理团队，致力于最大化其网络速度和容量。如果这家蓝筹公司能继续改善营运结果，股东将继续持有这支股票。
ATD: A retail blue-chip stock
ATD：一只零售蓝筹股
Another great Canadian blue-chip stock is Alimentation Couche-Tard (TSX:ATD). It is hardly an exciting business. It owns and operates convenience stores and gas stations around the world.
另一只伟大的加拿大蓝筹股是Alimentation Couche-Tard(TSX:ATD)。它并不是一家令人兴奋的企业。它拥有并经营着世界各地的便利店和加油站。
Gas stations are not fast-growing businesses. However, Couche-Tard has been an expert at maximizing profitability from the locations it has (or is building out). Smart acquisitions have been a key to its success. The convenience and gas retailer just added a major retail portfolio in northern Europe.
加油站并不是快速增长的企业。然而，Couche-Tard已经成为最擅长从其拥有或正在建设的地点中获得利润的专家。聪明的收购是其成功的关键。这家便利店和加油站的零售商刚刚在欧洲北部增加了一个重要的零售投资组合。
Couche-Tard is temporarily getting hit by a slowing economy. This blue-chip stock has underperformed the market this year. However, the company has traditionally used slow markets to aggressively buy back stock.
Couche-Tard暂时受到经济放缓的冲击。今年，这只蓝筹股表现不及市场。然而，该公司传统上利用低迷的市场积极回购股票。
Likewise, it has consistently been growing its dividend by a 20%-plus rate. If you can look past a couple more quarters of weaker-than-normal results, this stock should continue to perform well long term.
同样地，它已经持续以20%以上的速度增长其股息。如果你可以忽略几个更弱的季度结果，这支股票应该会在长期内继续表现良好。
