The reviews on Laurentian Bank (LB-T) depict a rather bleak outlook, with experts expressing a lack of confidence in its future. One analyst notes that prior to recent transactions, they would not have considered investing in the bank, labeling the latest deal as potentially detrimental. The bank trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 10.5, which is considerably lower than its peers, yet it appears to be stuck in a competitive quagmire against larger banks that continue to expand. Furthermore, the bank has previously attempted to sell itself without attracting buyers, raising concerns about its market viability. Overall, the sentiments suggest that without substantial strategic changes, Laurentian Bank may struggle to improve its standing.

Doesn’t have as much upside as other banks.

In an interesting situation. Need to really define their market share and decide what they want to do. Have to be comfortable with owning a regional bank in the Canadian market.

Hasn't moved much. Prefers the other banks. Had some loan-loss problems. Retrenching a bit.
