Calgary's CP Kansas City posts higher revenue, dips nearly 2% in net income
A strong grain harvest boosted shipping volumes for the railway even as overall profitability slipped slightly.
Why it matters
CPKC is one of Calgary's largest companies, and its quarterly results reflect broader trends in Western Canada's agricultural export sector.
Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd., headquartered in Calgary, reported that revenues climbed in its latest quarter thanks to a bumper grain crop that drove up freight volumes.
Despite the revenue increase, the company said net income edged down by nearly two per cent to just over $1 billion, according to its latest financial results.
The railway did not attribute the profit dip to any single factor in the material provided, but the results show that higher shipping activity from the grain sector did not fully translate into higher overall earnings for the quarter.
