This summary was created by AI, based on 58 opinions in the last 12 months.

Royal Bank (RY) is regarded as the top Canadian bank, benefiting significantly from its capital markets and wealth management divisions. The recent acquisition of HSBC has opened avenues for growth and product cross-selling. Analysts highlight the bank's ability to sustain its dividend, which has historically risen, as well as the positive regulatory changes that have reduced capital requirements, allowing for increased lending potential. While there is a general caution regarding high price-to-earnings ratios across Canadian banks, RY is viewed as a stable, defensible investment with robust growth prospects, even though some experts suggest caution due to its premium valuation. Overall, the bank's solid management, diversified operations, and strong market position contribute to its reputation as a reliable long-term investment.

BUY
The strength in this bank is the tremendous domestic franchise. Their capital markets position is pre-eminent. Didn’t get into major trouble on this last cycle. Well managed.
TOP PICK
This is a bank that has not had a significant problem with the US housing and credit crunch. Will have less revenue from their securities arm as there is less underwriting going on. Fundamentally it is a very strong bank. Strong dividend and growing. Price/earnings multiple is down by 25%. Good yield of over 3% for conservative investors.
HOLD
With their US exposure, it is possible there are some assets they will have to write down. All the same, this bank has had a history of showing very strong ROE's in the past. Their strategy has been more North American than some of the other banks. Very well run operation.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Can do better in other banks.
HOLD
Very good dividend. One of the best banks. He likes the banks and thinks most of the bad news is out of them.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Multiple compression coming in the financials.
BUY
The banks are cheap. If you believe the earnings estimates that are out there, there is a lot of good upside in them.
HOLD
Pays a very good dividend. Very secure. Trading at its lowest valuation in many years. Earnings growth may be a bit on the slow side but certainly enough to pay the dividend.
DON'T BUY
Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T), Royal Bank (RY-T) and Toronto Dominion (TD-T) are probably the most expensive banks in North America and possibly even the European banks. The upside in his model price is in single digits. The most upside to his model prices are National Bank (NA-T), CIBC (CM-T) and Bank of Montreal (BMO-T).
HOLD
As a long-term investor, you stay with companies like this.
DON'T BUY
Blanket statement for Canadian banks, he doesn't own them. Earnings will be under pressure for sometime (2 years). We have a little reprieve here due to the FED action.
HOLD
Don’t sell, we’ll get through this bad market. Any of the big banks should not be going close to bankruptcy. There may be further weakness but hold.
BUY
This bank has produced the best earnings. A simple comment on all Canadian banks, this is a huge buying opportunity for any long-term view. Simple rule of thumb: any time Canadian banks have gone down 20%, it's always paid to buy them. It will be basically flat money for a while.
BUY
This is a good play. Stock has dropped significantly making it pretty cheap on the fundamentals. Low PE multiple and good dividend yield. Good prospects going forward. Some US exposure, which doesn't appear to be huge.
COMMENT
10.5% upside on his model price.
