There is also a Canadian CDR (hedged) version but he prefers the actual stock in US dollars. He doesn't like the hedged versions of stocks which neutralize the foreign exchange component and prefers the benefit of owning companies in US dollars. He owns this and other US financials. Canadian banks have done very well.

Likes it Is up 15%. But wait until SpaceX IPOs before deciding on JPM.

Still the biggest and best global bank in the world. A good time to buy is any day that ends in "y".

Very good dividend growth trajectory last 10 years. Share buybacks. Best risk manager in the US banking space -- saw that firsthand in 2008. Keeps getting better and better. Yield is 1.95%.

Bit of delay in reward, but whole banking sector's in a great position. Tons of capital markets business coming on. Yield curve steepening is really the money driver behind borrowing/lending. Very strong trading numbers.

Capital markets broadly are improving, so more investment fees should come through. Deregulation coming through, consumer not as badly off as feared. Good place to start looking, given the sector's lagged. Yield is 2%.

All the North American banks had a great 2025. JPM is the most profitable US one. The dividend yield is rising and financial results have been strong. Is the US bank to own.

Can't go wrong. Safe, defensive banking provider. Attracts low-cost deposits. Built up wealth management. Great net interest margins, which go up over time. Yield is 2%, so not a dividend play compared to the Canadian banks.

Best bank in the world. Owned in his firm's momentum and dividend-growers mandates. 

Likes US banks, but likes Canadian banks better due to the tighter oligopoly and better ROEs. US money-centre banks are technology- and scale-advantaged compared to regionals.

One of the largest US banks, the gold standard. Leading across all divisions. Consistently delivers some of the strongest returns in the industry. 

Just reported strong quarter, record trading revenue, earnings up 13%, revenue ahead of expectations. Pulled back on slightly higher expense guidance. Higher-quality name, trades at a premium (for good reason).

Citi is still a turnaround story. CEO has been simplifying the business -- cutting costs and focusing on strongest franchises. Strong quarter, beat on revenue and earnings. Outperforming peers. Cheaper, with more upside potential (but more risk if turnaround stops working).

She's sticking with JPM, but C is a reasonable choice if you like the turnaround angle.

It is the best of the banks. Jamie Dimon who runs it is the best banker in the world and a major shareholder. It trades at a high multiple but with a 20%+ ROC it earns it. He has owned for 15 years. Headwinds would be an economic slowdown and Jamie getting older with the possibility of retiring.

A senior bank, and it's priced that way. In this environment, you want to take advantage of the up-and-coming-banks such as Citi.

Bought a long time ago as best-in-breed. US banking sector had a downdraft on worries of credit problems. But private credit issues aren't with the banks -- since 2008-2009, banks can't lend to those types of businesses.

Leave some $$ in your technology sleeve to allocate to one of the end users -- an industrial (TT) or big US bank (JPM or Citi) or retail/logistics (WMT or COST).

They report Tuesday. The CEO tends to issue cautious guidance while the street often finds things to quibble over it, even when they're not worth quibbling over. Still, it's a good bank.
