TD
BUY
To him, all of the banks are a gift. Dividend yield with most of the banks is higher than 5-year government bonds and they’ll probably continue to raise them.
HOLD
Banks are economy stocks so he is looking for a bit slower growth over the next 4 to 6 months. His top pick would be Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T), TD (TD-T) second and Royal would be third.
BUY
Royal bank (RY-T) or Toronto Dominion (TD-T)? Likes TD better because of the strong consumer brand both in Canada and US. Royal has a lot more capital markets’ revenues and profitability so there is more lumpiness. Both of them are still excellent stocks.
COMMENT
Should caller trim at this price? Stock has traded from $52 to $60 so you may want to trim. If you are a nimble trader, it makes some sense. Expects they will increase their dividend on May 27. 3.3% dividend.
BUY
Thinks they will raise their dividend this year and next. Thinks earnings are going to be good. There’s no bad news out there for the banks. Favorite is NA and also owns BNS.
BUY
His number 2 banks based on the fact that it fell the most. Sees things turning around a little bit. A good entry point/
HOLD
Been range bound for awhile, which is mildly encouraging. Usual seasonal strength is from the end of February to the end of May. Seems to be hanging in there so far. Hitting its head against the all time high of $62.30. Suggests you hold until month end. Good possibility it may increase Its dividend and the anticipation will help the stock on a short term basis.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Seasonality for banks is January until April 15th. He sold his holdings in April. Technically it could pull back to about $54. His concern is if it went below that. Good entry point would be to wait for it to get to the $54 area, pull back up a little and showing some strength with good volume. Cdn banks start to outperform at the beginning of October.
DON'T BUY
Not getting him overly excited right now. Prefers National Bank or CIBC. When the market turns, it will be the financials that lead the market. Thinks they might sell off their US assets.
BUY
Reasonably good entry point. Worse performing bank last year but has picked up a little bit this year. With its current valuation and yield and with last year’s performance, it’s probably the best value in the banking sector now.
DON'T BUY
Still having to deal with its US operations. Have done well in wealth management. Valuations are very high relative to the rest. Loan and deposit growth is starting to mature and slow down. Will probably not raise dividends for a little while.
TOP PICK
It was in the penalty box but last quarter looked pretty good. Others have increased dividends so he thinks RY will before the end of the year. The under performing bank soon becomes the top performer.
BUY
Two periods of strong seasonality (end of Feb until end of May and (end of Oct until end of Dec) Last year didn’t show very well. Right now it is on an upward trend, out performing the market. We are testing the resistance level now. You want to see it break that during this seasonality. Probably they will raise their dividend in their next report. During the summer you are going to see the stock break to an all time high. Buy at current prices.
BUY
Canada is going to be broadening its appeal to international investors. The first place they will look is the commodity area and next will be banks because they have been so well behaved. Getting into a period of accelerating earnings. Likes it long term.
BUY
The banks trade together. RY has been a laggard. Last quarter was a surprise. Credit metrics have gotten better. He is concerned about commercial real estate exposure in the US. They are getting their act back together. If they make acquisitions, he would see them catching up.
