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

Royal Bank of Canada (RY) stands out as a premier financial institution and is often regarded as the top choice among Canadian banks. Analysts praise its robust capital markets and wealth management divisions, which continue to thrive amidst a generally positive outlook for the Canadian economy. The bank's recent performance showcases substantial earnings growth, driven by favorable regulatory conditions and reduced loan loss provisions. However, a consensus emerges regarding the stock's high valuation relative to historical averages, prompting some experts to recommend caution in new investments. Despite these valuation concerns, many experts affirm RY's stability and strong dividend growth potential, indicating it remains a solid long-term hold for investors.

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.

COMMENT

Royal Bank(RY.TO)

Jan 20, 2011
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.

Doesn’t like banks, as they have no earnings growth. Earnings are actually de-accelerating and there is so much acceleration in everything else. (He holds zero financials.)

A long-term hold at these prices. Expecting dividend increases in the 1st half of the year but this is probably largely built into the stock price. His favourite is Toronto Dominion (TD-T), which currently has the best earnings multiple but this one is his 2nd biggest position.

Thinks banks will stay where they are. They are vital blue chips. Trying to absorb their recently obtained US operations. All the banks are boringly the same.

Owned for years. Always owned some of it. Worst performing bank of big 5 in 2010. It is usually either first or second. US retail is still losing money while TD is making money in US. They will absolutely get it much better. There is a $10 gap in valuation to make up and all they have to do is half of it to get 17% return.

The banks are very much the same so if one under performs then it usually comes back. Good for the long term but thinks they will take a while to turn around.

More involved as an investment bank which means more volatility. They have to deal with their US banking business, which is not working out. At these levels, you can make money. He likes it.

Came out with some pretty poor results and disappointed a lot of their shareholders. People don’t like surprises from their bank. US assets indicate that the level of risk is still higher than estimated.
