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

Experts generally view the National Bank of Canada (NA) as a strong investment with a focus on growth, particularly in wealth management and capital markets. Several reviews highlight the positive impact of its acquisition of Canadian Western Bank (CWB), which broadens its national presence and improves cross-selling opportunities. There is confidence in double-digit earnings growth and the potential for solid annual returns, even as concerns about high valuations and economic risks, such as potential recessions or credit cycles, are noted. While the stock's valuation is perceived as rich, its ability to generate high recurring fees and its diversified national presence contribute to a favorable long-term outlook. Overall, experts believe NA is well-positioned to thrive in the current market environment.

TD-T

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.

HOLD

Raised its dividend earlier this year and will probably raise it again later in the year. Could under perform the other banks later on because it is conservative and didn’t have to write off a lot of loans. Likes their domestic exposure and their wealth management exposure. Good long-term hold.
