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

Experts have a generally positive outlook on the National Bank of Canada (NA), highlighting its strong focus on wealth management and capital markets, which have proven lucrative amid market volatility. Analysts appreciate the bank's recent acquisitions, particularly that of Canadian Western Bank, which enhances its national presence and cross-selling opportunities. Despite a backdrop of economic concerns including high P/E ratios and the potential for a recession or credit cycle, many believe NA is well-positioned for long-term growth with expected double-digit earnings growth and a possible increase in dividends. Overall, while there are cautionary notes regarding high valuations and market conditions, the sentiment leans towards viewing NA as a strong player in the Canadian banking sector with a strong potential for continued profitability.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) One of the cheapest of the Canadian banks. Very well run.

BUY

Of all the banks, this is the best investment today.

BUY

What do you focus on when looking at a company? Has to like a sector and does like Cdn banking sector. Dividend yield is important. PE and ROE are important. Likes this one because of its protected market position inside Quebec. Wise traders and good wealth managers. There is room for dividend growth. Best earnings of any of the Cdn banks for 2009.

SELL

Canadian Imperial (CM-T) or National Bank (NA-T). Which would you sell? Would only own this when it is a big discount to the others. Prefers Toronto Dominion (TD-T)

BUY

On the relative valuation basis he can see more upside than in other banks.

DON'T BUY

A lot of the steam is out of the banks and can't see it improving for 2 years. Doesn't see a consist raise in dividends in this climate to make it as attractive as other stocks. For a long-term hold without exposure to foreign markets it is fine.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute) Favorite bank but banks are vulnerable for a correction.

BUY

Great bank and valuation is good. Quarter was a little lower than expected but not dramatically so. $.62 dividend.

BUY

This would be his #1 choice in Canadian banks. It is a dark horse. Doesn't have a lot of the problems. No exposure in the US. Good discount to the group. 3.9% yield.

TOP PICK

Has done the best of all Canadian banks since the bottom and has actually doubled. This is because it is Quebec, which has done the best of all the provinces. 3.9% yield.

TOP PICK

7.447% bond maturing June 30/20. A Tier 1 debt. Fairly high yield right now of over 6%.

COMMENT

This is about as high as it gets historically. Has only been above this peak once before. Expects a fair correction as he does with all the banks.

BUY

Favorite of the banks for the valuation, higher Canadian $ could be bit of a problem.

COMMENT

He expects they will have a dividend increase. Prefers Canadian Western (CWB-T) at this time.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 11/09. Up 26%.) Still likes it. Thinks it will start to flatten out. All the banks are approaching their old highs and hitting technical resistant levels. This one has the lowest PE of the group at 9X earnings. Great dividend and no US exposure.
