This summary was created by AI, based on 4 opinions in the last 12 months.

Laurentian Bank (LB-T) is currently facing significant challenges, as highlighted by multiple experts. The recent transactions are seen as a possible turning point, yet sentiments remain pessimistic. While the bank's latest acquisition may be accretive, skepticism prevails due to its unsuccessful attempts at selling itself and competition from larger banks. With a price-to-earnings ratio of 10.5x, it is deemed to be trading at a discount when compared to its peers, which raises concerns about its attractiveness to potential buyers. Additionally, any future merger or acquisition could lead to mass firings, further complicating its position in the market. Overall, many believe that the bank may eventually be taken over, but this would depend greatly on improved efficiencies under new management.

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.
BUY
4.5% yield. Has been left behind because they're a regional bank. Could see some possible consolidation in Quebec.
DON'T BUY
Risks in financial sector are increasing because of US dollar activity. His fair market value is less than the current price.
DON'T BUY
Less growth prospects than other banks including National.
WEAK BUY
Will move the least of the banks on any rebound.
