BUY
Expects bank stocks will do quite well over a 5 year horizon. They do well in retail, wealth management and sometimes in international growth. Have a lot of cash on their balance sheets and can buy back stocks, pay extra dividends or do acquisitions. In the next 12 months the return will be lower than previous.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 8/04. Up 5.6%.) Less inclined towards financials then other areas of the market and less inclined towards the banking sector in financials. For the individual investor, banks are rock solid, blue chip, good yielding investments and should be part of anyone's diversified portfolio.
WEAK BUY
Banks are going to be challenged from a growth standpoint. Revenue growth won't be the same as there has been in the last few years. Will be challenged to continue their growth in dividends. This bank has grown its personal banking business which has generated good revenue.
BUY
If your outlook is long term, Canadian banks are reasonable and could be bought now. For playing the market, wait for a drop by $1/2.
BUY
The more operationally leveraged play compared to Bank of Nova Scotia. Big exposure to investment banking.
TOP PICK
It is a little more volatile than some of the other banks. Dividends have been increased by $0.05 a share indicates better earnings going forward. Loan loss provisions are greater than all the possible loan losses. This gives a hidden positive factor.
DON'T BUY
Not a fan of the banks. Historically, they are all trading at 55 valuation highs and have always had major corrections.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Past Top pick Sept 23/04. Up 4.5%.) Still likes, but has been taking some profit to move into Bank of Montreal.
DON'T BUY
Earnings for Cdn banks are coming in disappointing and the stocks are showing this. A more interesting area in Cdn financials would be life insurance companies.
TOP PICK
Looking for pretty good earnings this week, possibly up about 10%. Attractive dividend. Also expects a stock split.
BUY
2 favourite banks are Bank of Nova Scotia and the Bank of Commerce with Toronto Dominion being a 3rd choice.
WEAK BUY
Banks, historically have been vulnerable in a rising rate environment. Offers reasonable value here.
BUY
Prefers life companies over banks. This is one of the higher yielding banks.
TOP PICK
A good way to play the Canadian $. Will be the most aggressive bank in raising dividends, buying back stocks and staying out of trouble.
TOP PICK
Highest dividend yield of the major banks. Lowest P/E. Re-focused on Canada and retail banking.
