This summary was created by AI, based on 57 opinions in the last 12 months.

Royal Bank (RY-T) is widely viewed as a strong performer in the Canadian banking sector, with reviews highlighting its premium positioning and strong capital markets performance. Experts cite robust earnings growth driven by investments in technology, particularly in capital markets and wealth management, as key factors contributing to its resilience. While the valuation of RY is noted to be at a premium compared to historical averages, many analysts believe this premium is justified due to the bank's consistent performance, effective management, and growth potential, particularly following the acquisition of HSBC Canada. Despite some concerns about market valuations being high and potential economic headwinds, RY maintains a favorable outlook, with many recommending it as a core holding for long-term investors. Dividend growth is also a recurring theme, showcasing the bank's commitment to return capital to shareholders while supporting growth initiatives.

Cdn banks are in a sweet spot on a global basis. May have a 2-3 year window where they are so financially strong compared to their global peers that they will be able to do mergers and take market share without a lot of risk. Well positioned and well managed.

Has lagged the other banks for the last couple of years because of problems in their US operations. They’re the major player in capital markets in Canada and when trading revenues do well, they do well.

This is not one of the Canadian banks that he favours. Doesn’t like the US exposure which is becoming a big part of the bank and which they virtually earn no money but actually lose money. Would prefer National (NA-T) or Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T). If you want one with US exposure, Toronto Dominion (TD-T) would be a better one to own.

Reporting on March 3. Concerned about their US holdings so this bank is not at the top of his list. Think they will be OK. Not sure they will increase their dividends.

Annual meeting web cast on March 3rd. There are 3 things they have to deliver on. 1) Looks like they are exiting their US strategy where they have never made money. 2) Credit provisions. How much more is going to come back on to their favour. 3) What is their international strategy?

2 major things to fix. 1) The most exposed to capital markets so they will rebound there. 2) Fix their US retail banking. Thinks they will partly fix the latter this year, which will make earnings higher and will restore their multiples.

On a technical call, he is wary of both Bank of Montreal (BMO-T) and Royal (RY-T), the Royal in particular. This one hit a 62 year valuation high last year. Not particularly cheap.

The capital markets business has been sub-par. RY is a capital markets business. They have become one of the big global players. For this reason there is a drag on the stock. Prefers BNS or TD. Expects dividend growth going forward will be somewhat muted.

Largest chartered bank in Canada and management is quite good. However haven’t covered themselves with glory in the last year so is not as enthused anymore. Spending too much time making money out of their trading operations. If you own consider switching to Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) or TD (TD-T).

Canada’s largest bank. Using its currency and relative strength for acquisitions. \Canadian banks have a 2 or 3 year window to take advantage of how well they are regarded. Expect to see a big resumption in dividend grow the in the next 2–3 years.

In his mind this would be in the middle of the pack of large blue chip financials. You get a good solid dividend and a stock that will probably grow at 10%-11% a year. US operations are kind of sluggish. On his list National Bank (NA-T) is the best one.
