About Canadian National Railway Co

Canadian National Railway is a freight railway company based in Montreal, Quebec. It moves goods across a rail network spanning Canada and parts of the United States, serving shippers of grain, coal, forest products, chemicals, automotive parts, and intermodal containers. Its customers include producers, manufacturers, and logistics companies that rely on rail to transport bulk commodities and manufactured goods between regions, ports, and distribution centres.

The shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada under the code CNR, and the price on this page is in Canadian dollars (CAD). Our dividend records, which start in 2019, show payments in 8 different calendar years. The Market X-Ray on this page is price-based and compares it with other stocks on the same exchange; it does not measure how healthy the business is.
