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
(A Top Pick July 26/10. Up 0.17%.) Brought along with a lot of financial stocks. Sold off its US retail business, which is good. Yields about 4.2%. Still a Buy.
HOLD
Looking to buy asset managers. This has become quite a profit centre for some of the banks but it also has its volatile aspects. There is a lot of competition in this area. Prefers a domestic business instead, like Toronto Dominion (TD-T) has.
DON'T BUY
Last quarter was a big mess relative to all the other banks, which were basically in line. Relied very heavily on wholesale banking and trading. All volumes were very low, so she doesn't expect it to do well this quarter either. Not an exciting strategy.
DON'T BUY
Banks are generally not acting that well here. This one made a big mistake moving into the US. Their timing was exceedingly poor and where they bought was not very good. It has cost them a lot and has hurt their balance sheet.
COMMENT
Canadian banks have come under a little bit of pressure lately. Have been a safe place to be in the last year or so. Earnings growth is clearly slowing down. Safe and a decent dividend but the earnings are not going to grow. He is probably half of his normal weighting in banks.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 6/10. Up 7.3%.)
DON'T BUY
Don’t worry about the lawsuit in the news recently. They have had some difficulty in the US. They have a spectacular Canadian business. We don’t know where they are going to invest their cash flow in the business now that they aren’t investing in the US.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Sep 9/10, Up 5.30% Total Return) All the banks have sagged except TD. Increased dividend 8% as with some of the others. He is solidly with the banks. Still adding for new clients.
STRONG BUY
At this price, it's a great buy. He is continuing to add it to new accounts.
BUY
Following the trend of the capital markets, which has not been that robust. In any 5 year rolling time, it will return some pretty good dividends and will perform very well.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 19/11. Up 0.55%.) Still likes.
SELL
Banks have had an incredible return to form after the recession. He would be thinking what his sell target is. They pay a good dividend. Only banks in the US interest him now.
HOLD
Has under performed the other banks. Used to be the premium bank with great franchises and it's big size. Has some issues with the US banking and has spent a lot of money buying wealth management companies. Market is unsure about their strategy.
SELL
At its peak was at the valuation high that it has been at for the last 60 years. When this happens with companies, he is inclined to Sell and let them go.
BUY
Has probably been beaten up the most out of all the banks. Got a pretty good price for selling their US division. Expect they will reinvest this in their Canadian operations and are generating gobs of cash in Canada. $60 a year from now.
