This summary was created by AI, based on 52 opinions in the last 12 months.

Royal Bank (RY) has been reviewed positively by multiple financial experts, highlighting its stable performance and strong management. It has shown substantial growth, with a commendable increase in both profit margin and market position, benefiting from a robust capital markets business and the successful acquisition of HSBC Canada. However, some experts express caution, pointing out that RY is trading at high valuation metrics, with premium multiples that may lead to a restrictive growth outlook. A consensus emerges that while RY maintains its status as a leading Canadian bank with solid fundamentals, the valuation may limit near-term upside. Many analysts recommend holding the stock due to potential for steady dividends and modest growth in the longer term, suggesting RY is a core holding yet requiring vigilance concerning market fluctuations.

PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Mar 3/11, Down 7.73%) Continues to like it. Thought they were going to address some of the problem in the US, which they did and should benefit going forward.
DON'T BUY
Not his favourite. Lost a little of their old panache. None of the banks have given much in the way of performance. Yields are okay, but are not spectacular. Banking business is tough right now. Spreads are terrible.
BUY
A lot of the concern that was expressed was well overdone. He is not concerned about any of the chartered banks. Has the largest dividend in Canada and is a pretty well run bank. He considers banks core stocks. They suffered from what has been happening south of the border but they were not affected. It’s a good sign that people are coming back in to the banks.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Jan 19/11, Up 1.28%)
BUY
Core holding. Has had a descent run. 50% of business is retail and you can only cut costs to increase profits. He is comfortable with it vs. insurance companies.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 20/10. Up 8.41%.) Still likes.
DON'T BUY
Why has it taken off so suddenly and what do you think will happen if European financials go down the drain? His model price is $50.28 giving it a negative of 4%-5%. People in US and Canada are looking for yield now so all banks will have some sort of lift because of that. Regarding Europe, we have already seen the results.
HOLD
Seasonal trends tend to be favorable this time of the year. A downtrend was broken. You will probably not get much resistance until $55 so it is a reasonable hold.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 6/11. Up 5.54%.) At the time, it had come off and looked quite cheap. Reported a good quarter shortly after and ran but, like all the banks, has pulled back. Good dividend.
BUY
For a long-term hold? Canadian banks have been the best-performing bank stocks globally and this one is our leader. Went through a tough period in 2011. Was in the doghouse most of the year and is now starting to come out. Their US situation is now behind them, rather than ahead of them.
SELL
Done very well the last little while. It is in the period of seasonal strength that us end of October to today. Take profits Tuesday morning.
BUY
Very cheap stock right now. Unduly punished for mistakes it made 5 years ago by going into the US. Those mistakes are now behind it and he feels their results were quite strong. Have a terrific franchise, particularly on the investment side and the personal wealth management side. Pays a nice yield and dividends are due to go up.
BUY
Good entry point.
DON'T BUY
Not a big fan of the banks in general. Cdn banks are probably the highest quality banks globally, which is great, but a lot of money came into them and the valuations became high compared to other stocks and other banks outside of Canada. This one has been a disappointment and he doesn't see this changing soon.
BUY
We are coming into a $47-$48 range. There will be some significant resistance when it reaches $50. Probably due for a little bit of a pullback, maybe to $47 but it could be bought now. You'll have to be patient with it.
