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.

(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.

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.
