Undervalued Canadian Stocks to Buy Now

When investors buy stocks below their intrinsic value, they position themselves to benefit from a powerful combination: earnings growth, dividend income, and valuation expansion. In today’s market, where volatility has created selective opportunities, disciplined investors can still uncover high-quality Canadian companies trading at attractive discounts.

Here are two compelling undervalued Canadian stocks to consider now.

CPKC: A unique rail network with long-term tailwinds

Canadian Pacific Kansas City (TSX:CP) is a rare industrial asset with a durable competitive advantage. After a recent pullback of over 8%, the stock trades below $110 per share and at a blended price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 23.3. Given its projected earnings-per-share (EPS) growth of about 13% annually over the next few years, this valuation looks reasonable — if not attractive — for long-term investors.

More importantly, CPKC is the only railway connecting Canada, the U.S., and Mexico under a single network. This integration eliminates “border friction,” such as delays from customs processing. The result is faster, more efficient and quicker shipping on key routes compared to competitors.

This advantage becomes even more valuable in a world where supply chains are being restructured across North America. As nearshoring accelerates and trade flows increase between these three countries, CPKC is uniquely positioned to capture that growth.

Additionally, if energy prices remain elevated, rail transport becomes more cost-efficient than trucking, further strengthening demand. With the analyst consensus price target suggesting about 11% near-term upside potential and a strong economic moat, this recent dip offers a good entry point to start accumulating shares.

Brookfield Asset Management: A global asset manager trading at a discount

Brookfield Asset Management (TSX:BAM) presents another compelling opportunity following a significant 29% pullback. At around $60 per share, the stock trades at an estimated 28% discount to the analyst consensus target while offering a dividend yield near 4.6% — a dividend with double-digit growth potential.

Brookfield’s scale is a major differentiator. The firm manages over US$1 trillion in assets across infrastructure, renewable energy, real estate, private equity, and credit. This global reach allows it to pursue large, complex deals that smaller players simply cannot access.

What truly sets Brookfield apart, however, is its operational expertise. Unlike many asset managers, Brookfield actively operates the businesses it acquires. This hands-on approach has historically resulted in stronger profitability, with EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) margins often exceeding industry averages.

The company also benefits from a powerful sourcing advantage. With teams on the ground in more than 30 countries, approximately two-thirds of its deals are proprietary, meaning they avoid competitive bidding and secure better pricing.

Finally, Brookfield invests in essential assets — the “backbone of the global economy” — such as data centres, utilities, and toll roads. These businesses generate stable, often inflation-linked cash flows, providing resilience in uncertain markets. Combined with long-term capital from institutional investors, this positions Brookfield for sustained double-digit growth.

Why acting now matters

Both companies combine strong fundamentals with temporary market dislocations. These are not speculative bets — they are industry leaders with proven track records, trading at discounts due to short-term sentiment rather than long-term weakness.

For patient investors, these moments are where outsized returns are often generated.

Investor takeaway

Undervalued investing is about identifying quality businesses that the market has temporarily mispriced. Canadian Pacific Kansas City offers a unique continental rail network poised to benefit from shifting trade dynamics, while Brookfield Asset Management provides global scale, strong income, and long-term growth potential at a discounted valuation. Together, they represent compelling opportunities for investors seeking both stability and upside in today’s market.
