This summary was created by AI, based on 56 opinions in the last 12 months.

Royal Bank of Canada (RY) is viewed as a solid investment, characterized by its strong market position as the largest and top-performing bank in Canada. Analysts praise its balanced approach to growth and income, particularly highlighting the accelerated growth in capital markets and wealth management sectors. While many experts agree on its premium valuation relative to historical averages, they continue to express confidence in the bank's long-term prospects, backed by solid earnings and a consistent dividend record. Some experts have suggested a cautious approach, recommending trimming positions or taking profits due to high valuations, yet many maintain it as a core holding in their portfolios. The overall funding environment and regulatory moves are seen as conducive to future growth, despite the potential macroeconomic challenges ahead.

Doesn’t expect they will be one of the banks that increase their dividends this quarter. Expect this will be a modestly good quarter for domestic banking and this is one of the dominant forces in Canada. Not a compelling Buy at current levels. 4.2% dividend.

Will probably have a good quarter. Most are treading water. TD looks good. Most if not all will be increasing their dividends. Doesn’t expect RY to be a blockbuster from here – just the dividend increase. Aug 30 numbers come out and div increase could be announced then.

Bank stocks have a very important role, usually right around the end of September when they move significantly higher right through until the end of December. Has a lot to do with expectation for good news to be released at report time, usually around the end of December. Caution: usually in the month of August and into early September bank stocks have a tendency to go down and actually underperform. He could see this one going down to the $50 level, which would be an opportunity to accumulate.

Not crazy about banks. There is not much dividend growth in the financial sector. There is pressure on them to have more and more capital. This decreases return on capital. They have stated they intend to increase dividend twice per Year. Prefers National because they consistently beat estimates and analysts don’t like it. Investors will reward a company that increases its dividend. Royal is not her favourite.

(A Top Pick Aug 24/11. Up 5.74%.) This would probably be his 4th favourite bank now and would only be a Buy on weakness.

COMMENT

Royal Bank(RY.TO)

Jul 27, 2012
Most of the banks, essentially, have not done very much since 2009. These are economy stocks and low interest rates are not a great thing for banks. He is convinced that there won't be any dividend cuts for the banks. If the economy picked up, that would be a good time to jump into the banks. You will get safety but probably not much growth.

Selling $48 Put options? Caller is Selling a Put which obligates him to buy the stock at $48. The stock is at $52.66 so his obligation is to buy below where the stock is trading. Great strategy. The premium you get from this is taxed as a capital gain, which is also attractive.

Common or preferred? These are two entirely different plays. Preferreds are safe and you can depend on them. Commons have a yield of 4.35% which is probably better than what you will get on preferreds but there is a lot more risk and a lot more opportunity. He likes this bank.

Has a very light weighting in banks. You are seeing multiple contractions as a group. The problem with this one is that they have a high capital market exposure. Margins and revenues in capital markets business are really under pressure. Dividend growth is going to be a little bit less than people are used to. You won’t get hurt too badly but won’t have big upside.

What is a reasonable P/E ratio for banks? This one is at 12.1%, which is pretty fair value at this point. Doesn't think it's either a raving Buy or a raving Sell.

Canadian Banks: Are right in the middle of their historic valuation range. Outlook is neutral, relative to market. Nice yield. Concerns about bank profitability in general. He doesn’t own any banks. Would like to see $42 to buy.

Cdn banks are in fine shape. Pay nice dividends and are very conservative on a global basis. This company alone is probably worth its share price.
