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.

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.
PAST TOP PICK
(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.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 5/09. Up 4.25%.) Callable Bond due in 2018 which should be called out in 2013.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
A little bit overvalued and banks could correct here. Overall he doesn't see any significant overall catalyst that is going to bring it down so wouldn't recommend a short position on it.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute) Best of the lot in it’s market place. Sees no calamitis events but tough time moving higher.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
(Market Call Minute.) Prefers the other banks.
BUY
Banks have had a good run. He views them as core holdings and wouldn't be afraid to own them here. Trading at reasonable multiples. There are signs of slowly but surely improvement in the economy. Solid yield.
