This summary was created by AI, based on 58 opinions in the last 12 months.

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.

RY-T vs. BAC-N. They are both leaders in their respective countries. In a non-registered account, use RY-T. Also he would go with them because in the case of recession, they can lower their expenses. Their plan is to invest in IT when times are good and pull back investments when they are not. Going forward it will be who can tighten their belts the most, will do the best.

What is a good entry point? - He owned it in the past. He likes it. The banks are a little less homogeneous than they used to be. They bought in the US a high end high net worth - Citi National. They beat in the quarter but it was a low quality beat as it was mainly from capital markets. Banks have lifted from the December lows but underperformed the market. Multiples are lows. The risk for reward is good. You can expect 10%.

(A Top Pick Apr 04/18, Up 11%) He's happy with it. It's close to its all-time high and its latest quarterly was quite impressive even with GDP growth slowing--RY's earnings frew 7%, the best in its class. That's all organic growth without acquisitions. They had strong capital markets unit performance and so is their U.S. unit.

COMMENT

Royal Bank(RY.TO)

Apr 10, 2019
A US hedge fund manager is shorting this stock. His premise is that credit losses will increase and she expect that this and next year. He's really making a call on the Canadian economy, but she doesn't see the Canadia economy to go into recession or our housing market to implode. Recent laws have cushioned the latter, like tougher laws to obtain a mortage. Housing prices in Canada really have to collapse to hit the banks. There's more cushion in Canada than America. She owns 12% Canadian banks in her portfolios.
