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.

Valuation

Fair Value

TD-T

BUY

They have a couple of billion dollars in asset backed paper. Believes there will be a value placed on the paper. Right now it's all being lumped together. If the bank was to totally write off the paper, the after tax hit on their book value would be around $6.00, the stock has already dropped $10. So he believes that the worst case scenario has already been built into the stock price, and he is buying now.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The model price is almost $80, a 43% upside. This might be a good trade. There is a lot of doubt on this bank based on the asset-backed paper. Had a pop, but he would wait and see where it settles down. Low $50's would be a good place.

TOP PICK

Everybody hates this one right now because they had exposure through their mutual funds to commercial paper. They have now taken this on themselves. This is a quality bank with an above average growth rate and an above average yield.

DON'T BUY

Of all the banks, they are probably the most exposed to the subprime problems in the US and will have the biggest hit. Would wait for more clarification before buying.

TOP PICK

Oversold, people got panicked. Yielding 4.4% trading at 9.5 times trading earnings. Very cheap for a quality bank.

WATCH

Good yield/low PE. $2 billion in reset paper that has to be guaranteed to their retail clients. Will probably find out how much they have to make good on in the next month. Intriguing at this level. Could be dead money for awhile.

HOLD

Financial stocks globally are leading this market down and will probably continue to do so. Eventually they will lead the market up, but it is way too early to buy banks. This one has been hurt more than other banks because of a $2 billion exposure to as

HOLD

He is looking for lower price points on some of the banks before entering into them. Because of some of the issues on subprime the financial sector has been under a lot of pressure. May very well go down a little bit more before going up.

BUY

4.3% yield is at the top of the heap. Just put out a statement about asset backed commercial paper market and they were buying $2 billion of it from their funds. Feel they were being honest about it. At 20% discount to the other banks, you have a reasona

BUY

His quantitative model shows a 40% upside. Feels banks will bounce here giving an opportunity for a trade. Long-term, he is less enthusiastic.

DON'T BUY

A lot of uncertainty across financial institutions globally. Traded at a bit of a discount to the rest of the banks, so it will take longer for them to recover. A little oversold, so you could buy for a trade.

TOP PICK

Have always have trouble breaking out of their Quebec base but are big in wealth management, good in the proprietary trading business and do well in managing brokerage accounts. Good growth, lower price earnings multiple and a higher dividend.

DON'T BUY

Banks in general are not her favourite. This one suffers from being a regional bank with very little room for growth.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't like it. Would prefer Barkleys in England.

BUY

Is the lowest valuation of all the Canadian banks. More Quebec based then the rest of Canada. Banks are looking cheaper then 6 months ago. If you buy it here it will do well.
