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.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Not his favourite bank. Even though some of the problems that it fixed it may be not a bad place.

COMMENT

His model price is $68.60. A 32% positive differential.

DON'T BUY

His philosophy is to buy the better quality players. He would suggest Toronto Dominion (TD-T) instead.

BUY

The sub prime thing sort of backed into their backyard. They weren't involved with the subprime as much as they wear into asset-backed paper. Have done a pretty reasonable job. The stock is acting much better and it is a well-run bank. Be aware that they are very active in Alberta and that area has suffered. 4.6% dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Past Top Pick. Dec 5/06. Down 18.3%.) If you own it, Hold. You are getting a decent yield on it. Like all Canadian banks, they will raise her dividends on a regular basis. There could still be another few dollars of downside.

TOP PICK

Dropped down to a very attractive valuation level. Good yield and good technical support. Speculative buy because it is a counter trend move to the fundamental down trend of the banks.

TOP PICK

Had its 1st losing quarter in 15 years. Took a write down on their asset backed paper but not as much as had been feared. The good news is they will probably make $6 in this fiscal year so you can buy now at 9X this year's earnings. Dividend of about 4.5%. Oversold.

HOLD

This is the cheapest of the big 5 banks at less than 2X Book Value. Their ROE is about 18% but there is a lot of worry about what they might be holding in terms of commercial paper etc. 4.5% yield.

BUY

An unloved name right now for because of their asset backed commercial paper. Thinks the market has overdone it and has baked in the worse case scenario. Even in the worse situation, the target price would be in the mid to high $50 range.

DON'T BUY

Admitted to being involved in commercial paper up to $2 billion. Rumours that their involvement is even larger. Also rumours of significant loan exposure to the Alberta oil patch. Would wait for the reporting of their next quarter.

WATCH

Has been hit hard relative to the other banks because of the commercial paper problems. Trading extremely low. Has high yield.

WAIT

This is an area that we will suffer in. Not something I’d pick up. Take a look at it in December.

TRADE

Has lots of exposure to Asset Backed Commercial Paper (ABCP). Investors are very worried they will take a large write off.

SELL

It is his least favourite stock. It does not trade at a discount anymore.
