What this company does
Written from the business description in CANADIAN PACIFIC KANSAS CITY LTD/CN's annual report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, filed 26 February 2026. Every sentence was checked against that document before publication.
Revenue compounded at +14.4% a year over five years — but profit grew slower: net income at +11.1%, earnings per share at +4.7%.
The share count rose from 0.67B to 0.90B over the period.
Compound annual rates per period — left blank where that exact year isn't on file, the series crosses a loss, or (per-share rows) a split falls inside the window.
Each CAD of equity produced 9 cents of profit this year.
EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
