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.
Gordon Reid
Still the biggest and best global bank in the world. A good time to buy is any day that ends in "y".
Brian MaddenVery 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%.
(Analysts’ price target is $343.06)
Darren SissonsBit 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.
Gordon ReidCapital 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%.
Stan WongAll 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.
Christine Poole
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.
Brian MaddenOne 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.
Brianne GardnerIt 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.
Richard FoglerBought 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.
Tim Regan
He's going to pull the lens back, as he likes to look at things from a macro perspective. In 2020, we went from falling interest rates for 40 years to what is likely rising long-term interest rates for the next 25-30 years. That benefits banks in particular.
If you look at the XLF in the US, after going nowhere from 2008-2021, it finally made a new high. Beginning of a new long-term bull market that probably goes on 10-12 years. During that time, earnings go up and so do dividends. The multiple expands.
US banks have had a wonderful year. He's used JPM as a Top Pick many times, and he also owns MS. 95% of global banks are trading above a rising 200-day MA. Don't be afraid of a bull market. These are dividend growth stocks, and when there's inflation a rising stream of income is pretty attractive to offset the rising cost of living.
