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.

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.
