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

Royal Bank (RY-T) has been a strong performer, with a consensus appreciation for its stability, especially in its capital markets and wealth management divisions. Experts praise the bank's robust earnings, dividends that have grown consistently, and its strategic acquisition of HSBC Canada, which is expected to enhance its global platform. However, there are concerns regarding its current high valuation relative to historical standards and the overall Canadian banking sector, leading some to suggest trimming positions. While many maintain a positive outlook on RY due to its dominance and management quality, the general sentiment reflects caution against buying at elevated prices with potential headwinds from slowing loan growth and economic pressures.

BUY
Likes the banks. This one looks really good and is very close to its all-time record highs of the $60 level. Getting near to this again. $60 will be a bit of the resistance point but there should be a couple of dollars left in this. Would be surprised to see a drop below $56.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 1/09. Up 26.15%.) 6.821% June 30, 2018 bonds yielding about 8% to maturity. Still likes.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 9/09. Up 67.5% excluding dividends.) Had been way oversold.
WATCH
Banks have 2 periods of seasonality. One is from the end of October until the end of December, which is when the banks are reporting their 4th quarter results. The other period is from the end of February to the end of May. Watch for the sector to show bottoming action are on the end of this month.

HOLD
(Market Call Minute) for all Canadian banks
HOLD
Management style is very conservative, which he likes. Long-term hold.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) Still sees plenty of upside.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
(Market Call Minute.) Buy in the low $50’s. The banks are in a consolidation phase.
SELL
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.
