Royal Bank (RY-T) is widely regarded as the top Canadian bank and has excelled in capital markets and wealth management. Recent reviews highlight its strategic decisions, such as the acquisition of HSBC, which position it well for future growth through cross-selling products. While the Canadian banking sector has performed strongly, the stock is trading at historical highs in terms of price-to-earnings ratios, prompting concerns about valuation among some analysts. The bank's dividend yield, while lower than 3%, has shown a consistent upward trend. Many experts see RY as a cornerstone holding in their portfolios due to its stable growth and ability to maintain capital during market uncertainties. Despite the current high valuations, RY continues to be recommended as a solid long-term investment, with potential for growth as market conditions evolve.

BUY
Likes all banks. TD is favourite. They seem to have a handle on the loan concerns
SELL
Have now over done. Don't expect takeovers to have too much effect on price.
BUY
Banks should outperform the general market. Prefers TD and then BMO

Banks benefited from tech pull back. Will this reverse?

Off a little bit, but thinks there is still growth
HOLD
Still a bit of upside in banks
HOLD
Hold at least until a first merger is announced.
BUY
All banks are good. Would be an acquirer
TOP PICK
All banks are well run/profitable Multiples 10, 12, 15 X earnings.

Let them go after a 10/15% increase. In a recession, banks will be hit.

Royal and TD is a possible merger.
DON'T BUY
Better to buy the target bank, BMO rather than the acquirer

Getting near their 1998 highs. Prefers Royal #1 CIBC #2 Sell @ $56
