Experts generally express a positive outlook on National Bank of Canada, highlighting its strong position in the Canadian banking sector, especially after the acquisition of Canadian Western Bank. Many point to its focus on wealth management and the ability to generate recurring high fees, positioning it well for future growth in a volatile market environment. There is an expectation of double-digit earnings growth, making it attractive for long-term investors. However, some experts caution about high valuations and potential economic challenges ahead, suggesting a mixed approach of buying and taking profits. Overall, the sentiment reflects confidence in the bank's fundamentals, albeit with a note of caution regarding market conditions.

HOLD

Feels this one is underrated as a bank. It's an outstanding bank. More about pure domestic play than many of the others. Don't read too much into the share price movement in the last little while.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 22/11. Up 16.57%.) Still outperforming from a fundamental point of view.

BUY

Did not raise its dividend last quarter but raised twice last year. Did some interesting acquisitions. They are getting bigger into wealth management and into Anglophone Canada. Likes BNS, TD and then NA in that order.

BUY

He looks for management teams that don’t make mistakes, and that stick to their strategy, like with this company.

TOP PICK

Pretty much all of the banks had good earnings this quarter and this one was one of the strongest. Likes their wealth management business. Very cost effective branch runners. Have a pretty good security business. All they do is make money and raise their dividends. Trading at a bit of a discount to the rest of the industry.

BUY

His model price is $76.26, a 16% upside. All of the other banks are pretty well at or above their model price.

BUY

Have recently been expanding some of their wealth management operations out West. Very well-managed. Dividend is about 2.84%. For a longer-term play, you could look at this at current levels.

WEAK BUY

He would buy this if he buying banks, which he isn’t. Collect your dividend until January at which time it could move. It is his favourite of the Canadian banks.

TOP PICK

Final bidder to buy HsBC’s brokerage business. Likes this. They are now moving beyond the Quebec borders with their purchase of Wellington West a few months ago. Expect they will continue to expand their wealth management business, which has higher margins than retail banking.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 25/10. Up 33.33%.)

TOP PICK

The strongest bank fundamentally. Trying to buy at around the $70 level.

TOP PICK

Have done a tremendous job in managing their Canadian assets including the wealth management, the branch network and the stock brokerage. Beat earnings expectations. Raised their dividends.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Aug 15/10, Up 43.33%) It was primarily a domestic bank that got beat up.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 10/10. Up 36.81%.) Still one of his favourites. Great dividend and growth potential.

BUY

If you look at Canadian bank stocks, they look expensive, but if you look at them on a valuation basis, they are cheap. He would buy NA or BNS and tuck it away for many years.
