This summary was created by AI, based on 52 opinions in the last 12 months.

Royal Bank (RY) has been reviewed positively by multiple financial experts, highlighting its stable performance and strong management. It has shown substantial growth, with a commendable increase in both profit margin and market position, benefiting from a robust capital markets business and the successful acquisition of HSBC Canada. However, some experts express caution, pointing out that RY is trading at high valuation metrics, with premium multiples that may lead to a restrictive growth outlook. A consensus emerges that while RY maintains its status as a leading Canadian bank with solid fundamentals, the valuation may limit near-term upside. Many analysts recommend holding the stock due to potential for steady dividends and modest growth in the longer term, suggesting RY is a core holding yet requiring vigilance concerning market fluctuations.

COMMENT
He bought about a month ago and has been selling over the last 2 weeks. Financials had a pretty good run off the bottom. 2nd quarter earnings are coming up in the next couple of weeks and he wants to stand back and let the normal seasonal effects take hold.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Has pulled back and little bit and has some good upside. Good dividend.
TOP PICK
He values this company at $50 a year from now.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Banks have been running up on decreasing volumes. Also, they have a very large US exposure.
TOP PICK
Callable Bond due in 2018 which should be called out in 2013. If it doesn't get called out, it will float. Great hedge against inflation. Yields close to 4%.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute) Largest bank, nice dividend and should not be too hurt by things American
DON'T BUY
A little over valued right now. Not one he would run out to purchase. Would be more attractive at $35.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute) May have to have a bit of a visit.
TOP PICK
Strongest bank based on valuation. Low as it has been relative to peers in 5-10 years. Dividend is safe. Write down on good will is signal that they are a strong company. Best fixed income debts out of any of the Canadian banks.
BUY
Loan losses for all Canadian banks will be a little bit higher in the next year but the further out you go, the more attractive they look. You get paid to wait in all these banks. Prefers Toronto Dominion (TD-T) and Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T).
TOP PICK
Senior Canadian bank. Great money market business. Owns tons of mutual funds and the fee base business is super. Has a good investment-banking arm. Some US exposure. With the yields where they are, you can start to add. Buy on weakness.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) One of the favourites of analysts. Has had a huge move off the bottom. Has a premium to other banks and not sure it deserves it.
TOP PICK
6.821% June 30, 2018 bonds yielding about 8% to maturity. Thinks this is the best bank. Good yield. He will probably hold until maturity.
COMMENT
Preferreds. Thinks interest rates will continue to stay reasonably low. He would take the older preferreds rather than the more recent issues. Yield of about 6% is pretty attractive.
COMMENT
Over 5% dividend. Banks have to now focus on traditional banking business, borrowing and lending spreads. He is not positive on the growth prospects for wholesale banking and the wealth management businesses. He suggests writing a Call option around $40.
