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.

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.
BUY
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.
BUY
(Market Call Minute) One of his two favourite banks stocks.
COMMENT
Had a wonderful run off the bottom. All the banks are looking a little tired for the short-term and he has lightened his holdings little bit. 3.5% yield.

(A Top Pick Oct 10/08. Up 43%.) Buying Shares at about $41and Selling Call Options at $42.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Attention to detail is very good. Over a long-term you will be rewarded. Expect you could get it $3-$5 cheaper in the next few months.
BUY
Great company. Trading at a reasonable valuation. Earnings will continue to grow. Expect dividends will go higher in 2010.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 9/08. Up 16.71%.) RBC Capital Trust bonds Dec 31’13.
COMMENT
Largest bank in Canada but has some US assets that cause some concern. Had a great quarter because of vote 50% of their revenues came from trading. Has the best ROE in the business. Strong franchise but the shares are priced to reflect that. (See Top Picks.)
SELL
He is selling banks. Not worried about dividends or earning, though, and would rather look at US banks.
TOP PICK
This and Toronto Dominion (TD-T) (See Past Top Picks) are the 2 best managed Canadian banks. At this time, this one is the better pick because of the diversification of its assets and the strong management.
COMMENT
Blew the doors off with their last quarter's earnings. If you own and have doubled, consider taking some profits. Very impressed with this bank. Fair value right now and there is room for the dividend to rise.
TOP PICK
6.1% Series AX Bond yielding 5.5%. Rate reset bond that if the bank or insurance company does not call it back in 5 years, they will either go on for the next 5 years at either a fixed or floating rate, your option. One of Canada's top banks. With the drop in yield, the price should go up.
