Laurentian Bank is currently facing significant challenges, as indicated by various expert reviews. The bank was reportedly unsuccessful in its attempts to sell itself, which raises questions about its future viability and attractiveness. Trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 10.5x suggests it is undervalued relative to its peers, yet this has not translated into interest from potential buyers. Concerns about mass firings through potential mergers loom, highlighting the political and operational ramifications of any strategic decisions. Overall, experts express a lack of confidence in the bank's ability to compete against larger institutions, indicating a precarious position in the current banking landscape.

DON'T BUY

His least favourite bank. Trying to sell itself to one of the big 5 banks. It's unionized, which makes it unattractive to other banks.

BUY

An excellent bank. A smaller bank, so subject to some issues in trying to grow. Pays a good dividend. Lots of capital.

DON'T BUY

Model price is $23.18. Tends to go up when there's a lot of merger chatter.

DON'T BUY

There are better opportunities in the banking sector. Had a loss in the quarter versus an expected gain. Not earning its dividend, but doesn't expect a cut.

DON'T BUY

Don't seem to have a growth strategy. Have retreated back to their core market in Quebec, but can't seem to get any traction there. Fully unionized, so not an attractive takeover target.

DON'T BUY

Hasn't been the best managed bank nor the best growth prospects. Because of their union, it won't be a takeover.

DON'T BUY

All the banks, financials and insurance companies are doing well, so not sure why this one is not doing well.

DON'T BUY

Has had troubles over the years compared to other banks. It's in Quebec and unionized. Trying to turn around, but hasn't gotten very far. Looking at the valuation, it's not that cheap. Prefers others such as Canadian Western Bank.

DON'T BUY

Not a fan of banks at the present time. Fair market value is about $18. A lot of resistance at $29/30.

DON'T BUY

Has a great yield, but needs a clearer view of their strategy before buying.

DON'T BUY

Not likely to be acquired because of the union contract in existence. It will lag the other banks.

DON'T BUY

Unionized branches make it more difficult for a takeover. Nice dividend. Has not had a strong performance. Prefers others.

BUY

Owned it personally then sold it. Dont like buying stocks that are going down.

DON'T BUY

Often ignored. Solid bank. Alittle bit expensive. Good yeild on dividend. Prefer bigger banks.

WEAK BUY

4% dividend. Cheaper stock. Worth a position.
