On Monday, Wolf Research issued a note -- highlighting what they see as a buying opportunity on weakness in the transportation sector.
Over the past two weeks, Wolfe’s average transport stock fell six percent, which they note is more than double the current S&P 500 pullback.
Bull opportunities may exist in Canadian National Railway CNI, Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies, aka Wabtec WAB and Ryder R -- after having their stock prices knocked down in light of “very strong Q2 reports."R

Wolfe states that Canadian Pacific CP remains their rail stock favorite choice, while it's also “warming to” Union Pacific UNP “after its recent underperformance”.
Q2 freight volumes grew 5 percent YoY, which is a major improvement over the 1-2 percent YoY reported in Q1.
Wolfe analyst Scott Group is skeptical that Q2 strength “was driven by a weather-related bounce in April and a pull forward of freight in Q2 ahead of potential West Coast port labor issue”.
Some traders may be skeptical, too, trying to bet on which of these equities will offer the best return.
