The sentiment surrounding Laurentian Bank (LB-T) is predominantly negative among the experts. Many believe that the recent transactions signal a troubling future for the bank, with one reviewer stating that the deal marks 'the end of the line.' The bank trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 10.5x, significantly lower than its peers, suggesting that it might be undervalued. However, there is concern about the bank's viability, as it previously attempted to sell itself without attracting any buyers, heightening fears regarding its operational health and competitiveness against larger banks. Experts are wary of potential synergies from a merger which could lead to mass firings. Overall, the reviews indicate that investors should exercise caution.

HOLD
Doesn’t have as much upside as other banks.
DON'T BUY
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.
DON'T BUY
Hasn't moved much. Prefers the other banks. Had some loan-loss problems. Retrenching a bit.
WEAK BUY
4% dividend. Their model price is a little over $31, which would give you four dollars plus dividend. Prefers Toronto Dominion.
BUY
4 «% yield.Thinks all the banks are going to move up.
DON'T BUY
The sale of 57 Ontario branches to TD bank is positive.This will allow them to refocus on their Quebec roots.Would prefer TD or Bank of Nova Scotia.
DON'T BUY
Tends not to be a big mover.It has problems including having a unionized workforce and is regional based.Doesn't expect it to be a takeover target.Prefers others.
DON'T BUY
Has some operational difficulties. A possible takeover. Would prefer one of the bigger banks.
WEAK BUY
Could be a target for a merger. Banks always seeem to do well.
BUY
Hasn't done much but you won't get hurt with this one.
WEAK BUY
Could be worthwhile if you feel bank mergers will occur.

4.5% yield. Has been left behind because they're a regional bank. Could see some possible consolidation in Quebec.

Risks in financial sector are increasing because of US dollar activity. His fair market value is less than the current price.

Less growth prospects than other banks including National.

Will move the least of the banks on any rebound.
