This summary was created by AI, based on 55 opinions in the last 12 months.

Royal Bank (RY) has garnered a mix of positive and cautious opinions among experts. Many regard RY as a strong choice among Canadian banks, often citing its stability, diversified revenue streams, and solid dividend growth as key strengths. The bank has shown robust earnings, with recent quarterly reports highlighting factors like cash reserves and a significant increase in capital markets earnings. However, there are concerns regarding its current valuation, which is perceived as high compared to historical averages. Experts suggest trimming positions in the stock, as the premium valuation could pose risks in a potentially softer economic environment. While some believe it remains a good long-term hold, others recommend waiting for a better entry point given the high price-to-earnings ratio.

BUY
One of his favourites. Expecting very handsome dividend increases over the next 12 months.
DON'T BUY
Banks have all virtually moved sideways over the last 4-5 months, this one in particular. Expects it will continue so don’t rush out to Buy. Prefers Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T).
BUY
Banks are pretty fully valued. It is a “quasi US bank”.
WEAK BUY
Favorite bank in terms of price because it under performed so. But he is not going aggressive in bank stocks right now.
BUY
Are trying to beef up their weak asset management business. It is the right strategy. They trade a rich premium to global banks but there is a reason for that. They have a stable environment, with stable assets and growth opportunities. Should hike dividends. 8-10% of return including dividends. Assets are fully priced in.
BUY
Seasonality for the Canadian banks is different from American. American Banks are strong after their year end December 31st. Canadian banks perform mid-October until April 12th. It’s a good bank because its been in the dog house.
DON'T BUY
Not crazy about banks from an earnings standpoint. Housing market is slowing down, which is a big part of their loan books. Doesn't expect unusual performance out of any of them.
TOP PICK
Under performed the other banks in the last 6 months or so. Challenged in the last 2 quarters because of their capital market side. Acquisition in the UK should work out well for them.
TOP PICK
Likes it because they stumbled and were put in the penalty box for a while. Believes management is taking steps to address that. Their margins in the wealth management business are not up to some of the their competitors. They acquired a company in great Britain that has grown incredibly over the last number of years. That will help contribute to margins in wealth management. 3.5% yield.
BUY
Likes Canadian banks. Have seen earnings growth come back into them in the last few quarters. Last quarter was shaky because volumes were sluggish. This one has been in the penalty box so you could combine it with the best one, Toronto Dominion (TD-T).
BUY
Banks have been lagging recently. This one disappointed a few people. All the banks can be bought at these levels. This one will be good for a long-term investment.
BUY
Sees total returns from 12-15%. In 2011/12, banks will be a good investment. They have this US exposure but are tightening up in several areas.
BUY
(Market Call Minute) very attractive here.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 3/09. Down 7%.) Had thought capital market business would have been a lot stronger. Sold his holdings.
HOLD
Biggest bank in Canada and has a good presence in the US. Has been hurt by the drop in trading revenues. Not overly cheap. Have a premium franchise in Canada. Should be 5%-8% higher in 1 year.
