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.

Would not own too many banks. Would take profits. They have a huge US exposure and he prefers banks with less US exposure.
TOP PICK
Now that we are at normalized valuations for banks, this is the place to be. Attractive valuation. Extremely well positioned in the capital market. Good “buy and hold” blue-chip stock.
COMMENT
This is more the stable player in banks with the best of the consumer market. Worries are little about their US exposure. Feels banks are now fairly valued. Earnings growth will be slow because of dilution. Good dividends.

Will be reporting in a few weeks and will know a lot more then as to how much loan loss provisions will be needed for the US operations.

Canadian banks have come through the crisis and this one is the leader. Dividend is secure and will start to grow again once they build up their capital. This would be his favourite play. 3.6% yield.
