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
Look at how far it has dropped from 5 years ago. This could be the entry point providing you can deal with the fluctuating markets and that you have a 3-year view.
BUY
Canadian banks are the best capitalized banks globally. If you have any time horizon at all, he would own Canadian banks.
PARTIAL BUY
Earnings will be pressured and will be softer. Core retail banking is still there. By the time you wait for the earnings turn, these stocks will have long turned. You might nibble in over the next quarter or so.
DON'T BUY
Last bank to start going down. Relative to the rest of the banks, it is quite expensive. Until this one has its own setback in the market, Canadian banks overall will not be a Buy.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Finance Minister has announced that banks going to get a $50 billion package. This bank will have to deal with its US subsidiaries and all the tuck-in acquisitions they have made. Still have very strong franchise and he has no concerns with this one.
HOLD
The quality big Canadian bank. Likes that they are taking full-page ads in the US highlighting how it is a big safe bank and great balance sheet.
DON'T BUY
Seasonally Canadian banks tend to go up about now. This is a time when they come out with their earnings. Not going to happen this year. If you are looking for a conservative bank, this is probably the best risk managed bank by far. Wouldn't buy into Canadian banks this time around. Technically, the chart shows a broadening formation and expects the stock will come back up through $50, which should provide good support for it.
COMMENT
Royal (RY-T) vs. Toronto Dominion (TD-T). Prefers Royal but doesn't think either one of them are going to have a terrific quarter. TD made, what may turn out to be badly timed US acquisitions. Both banks are going to suffer from lack of activity in the capital markets. All banks are trading at low PE ratios.
PARTIAL BUY
Suffering along with the other high-quality financial stocks. People are concerned about financial stocks in general. Yields aren't bad. If you don't own a bank stock, step in and take a partial position.
BUY
Believes this is the bank that will be the safest and, as we rebound, it is big and liquid and its US exposure will be positive.
BUY
Very strong retail franchise. Very good investment bank and very good asset management business. Think the US assets will continue to grow.
COMMENT
Seasonal strength for banking sector tends to be September until April. Last year this did not work because 4th quarter results clearly were not going to help the market. 4th quarter this year (end of Nov.),you will see reduced reductions in write-offs, dividend increases and favourable comments on prospects for next year. Stock has bottomed and MACD is starting to show early signs of recovery. Good chance of breaking above $50, and when it does could easily get to around $56.
BUY
Likes all the Canadian banks. Bank of Montreal (BMO-T), Toronto Dominion Bank (TD-T) and Royal Bank (RY-T) are all on a great playing field and will be able to acquire some good assets.
DON'T BUY
Only bank they own, but a 1% weight. Canadian banks are likely to see a multiple compression and he would be a little cautious.
TOP PICK
Buy Oct/Nov call option $40 or $42.
