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.

BUY
Thinks this bank has the best management culture in terms of consistency and a very solid franchise.
BUY
Would buy all of the banks at their current levels but especially this one. They are in the penalty box right now.
BUY
Has been slapped down. Got stung by US operations. Reasonable dividend yield. They will turn it around this quarter. Overcapitalized. Looking for them to raise dividend next year. Earnings in the high $4 this year, $5 next year.
BUY
The rules have come out in such a way that he thinks all the Canadian banks can increase their dividends.
WAIT
MFC brought all the financials down. RY I a blue chip bank and are a better bank to be in in tougher times. He would not buy banks right now. Not a good seasonal time. Season is October 28 th. Not expecting it to go back to $62 but it could go down to $45. October 28 th is a major date to get into banks. This is their year-end. Get in a month before the reports. That’s when they announce dividend increases.
WEAK BUY
Has been very disappointing. Complete loss of momentum. Has potential because people outside of Canada by it. Treat it as a trading stock. Prefers National Bank (NA-T).
HOLD
Missed their numbers last quarter so stock had a dip. Trying to make a push into a global banking entity by going into the US, which could have some execution risks but a brand name that is respected globally. Will probably go up 5%-10% over the next 12 months. You could Buy for the long-term.
TOP PICK
Has under performed the group. Stock came off because of a poor quarter in wholesale revenues. As Canada's largest bank it has a premier franchise in retail and wholesale banking. Well positioned to participate in the long economic growth that should follow. 3.8% yield.
HOLD
Banks in general didn’t do that well today, but this one was flat. Didn’t have that great a result recently. Is recommending a different bank today. If you want to hold it for the long term you will do fine.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 12/09. Up 28.46%.)
TOP PICK
4.93% Bond maturing July 16/25. A deposit note, which is right near the top of the capital structure. Very well run bank, well diversified and good balance sheet.
HOLD
6.821% maturing June 30/49 and callable June 30/18. Will probably be called in 2018 because this is a Tier 1 capital structure. This is a high-quality credit.
TRADE
RY preferred shares. Could sell at a premium, and he is going to re-examine but likely he will continue to hold them. Not a lot of upside in the short term, but there is only one way for them to go.
BUY
(Market Call Minute)
BUY
Sees this as flat in the next 6 months but you'll get your dividend but could be a little higher. Really depends on what happens in August or November with the Basil 3 G20 meeting.
