The Royal Bank (RY) of Canada is widely regarded as one of the leading financial institutions in Canada and consistently receives high praise for its diversified business model and strong capital markets presence. Experts highlight its recent performance, rising earnings, and prudent management, although there is acknowledgment of a premium valuation compared to its peers. There are differing views on whether the bank is fully valued or still has upside potential due to its robust cash flow and strategic acquisitions, such as HSBC Canada. Nevertheless, some analysts caution about the overall banking sector dynamics, suggesting potential headwinds from interest rate pressures and economic uncertainties. Overall, RY is frequently labeled as a solid long-term hold for investors seeking stability and dividends.

HOLD
Premier Bank in Canada. Has come down a lot during the correction. 4% dividend yield.
TOP PICK
Missed on their earnings and the market overdid it. Has problems in the US, but everybody does. Operations in Canada are very strong. As recovery takes hold earnings and dividend will grow. Top-notch company, 25% cheaper than in April.
BUY
Missed its quarter saw analysts took their targets lower so the bank lost its premium royalty. Fairly good value here. 4% dividend yield. May be a soft quarter coming up.
BUY
You have to remember that while they had great earnings, a lot of this was coming from trading revenues. Much more reasonable pricing now for a long-term investor.
COMMENT
High yielding stocks are so attractive because of their yield that now is the time to start looking at them even though technically they don't look that hot. Dividend yield in excess of 4%. Good place to hide until September/October. As a seasonal investor this is not something he would do.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Dec 3/09, Down 10%) Attractively priced right now. Getting a nice dividend right now.
BUY
Sometimes when companies report earnings and are the only ones in the group that disappoint, they get punished. That's the case with this bank. Great entry point and has the most potential for growth between now and the end of the year. Toronto Dominion (TD-T) is his favourite followed by this one.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Banks face new regulations at year-end. RY is the next one he would consider buying. 2 to 3 years it is a great purchase.
BUY
Missed earnings expectations. However broken down they missed on trading, the most volatile part of the business. Retail and wholesale have been doing very fine. Attractive price. Good dividend at 3.7%.
BUY
Took advantage of weakness in the US to buy banking assets on sale. Long term buy.
COMMENT
Didn’t they hedge against their FX losses? Yes, their hedging went against them. They made a call on the firing currency as a means to add to the banks profits and they were wrong.
WAIT
Would not be that comfortable with the financials. The first stop point is not too far away from where we are here.
DON'T BUY
We had a mixed bag of earnings. Banks were doing well in retail. Wholesale did not have a lot of IPOs. On a long-term basis. They are all selling on about 11 times forward earnings. Would prefer a different bank right now.
SELL ON STRENGTH
Usually it is strong from end of January until end of May. This year technicals are not so good. Technical breakdown caused it to break through support level. It is so over sold now that it is now due for a bit of a bounce over the next week or two. Next strength period is typically end of September to end of November.
WAIT
Very strong retail franchise and didn't get into too much trouble with regards to US businesses. Took advantage of opportunistic purchases in the US. Long-term, a good place to be. A little concerned about Cdn real estate market and would wait for a lower entry point.
