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

Royal Bank (RY-T) is widely regarded as the top Canadian bank and has excelled in capital markets and wealth management. Recent reviews highlight its strategic decisions, such as the acquisition of HSBC, which position it well for future growth through cross-selling products. While the Canadian banking sector has performed strongly, the stock is trading at historical highs in terms of price-to-earnings ratios, prompting concerns about valuation among some analysts. The bank's dividend yield, while lower than 3%, has shown a consistent upward trend. Many experts see RY as a cornerstone holding in their portfolios due to its stable growth and ability to maintain capital during market uncertainties. Despite the current high valuations, RY continues to be recommended as a solid long-term investment, with potential for growth as market conditions evolve.

(Market Call Minute.) Banks are cheap and the dividend growth story continues.

Surprised the market with their write down on monoline bond insurers. The bank is okay, but not one of her 2 favourites.

Very difficult environment for financials that will continue for some time. Canadian banks are higher quality with better capital ratios than US banks but with deteriorating credit and issues with structured products, he would avoid all financials. If he had to buy a bank, his preference would be Canadian Western (CWB-T).

Got out of all the Canadian banks last April. At this point, he would rather Trade them than Buy and Hold. His model price is $54.41, almost a 12% differential. Model price has been coming down. The next level would be $44.70, which is where he would buy for a Trade.

Canadian bank stocks have 2 periods of seasonal strength. Next one starts at the end of January and goes through until the end of May. Toronto Dominion (TD-T) or Royal Bank (RY-T) would be his favourites. Consider buying closer to February. Also keep an eye on the sector.

Concerns over the credit market have hit the Canadian banks. Have been expanding in the US so the impact of the Cdn$ and how they report back to Canada will affect them. At current prices, all of the Canadian banks are looking fairly attractive. 4% yield. Very solid ROE, 25% lately but will probably be around 23% for the next couple of years.

Has trended down over the last 9 months. Had a premium valuation going into 2007. Its performance has been fine, but the valuation has trended back to the mean. Has some US exposure through RBC Venturis.

Has a vibrant retail network. Exposure to the capital markets is not as high as the other banks. Didn't get caught too much with the subprime issue.

There is no particular rush to buy banks at this particular time. Problems in commercial paper, loans out of the US, etc., will continue to be out there. You can buy the banks now at a pretty attractive yield and markets have probably discounted a lot of the problems that might come forward. If you are looking out 2 or 3 years, you could buy at this time. 3.8% yield.

Would hesitate to buy any bank for the next several months. Canadian domestic retail operation is fantastic. Have some relatively new US retail assets and have taken some write-downs and there will probably be more. Has a premium valuation, which should become more of an average valuation until we know how many US cockroaches there are.

Not long or short any banks right now. When you look at earnings yield (EP) on Canadian banks relative to interest rates or you look at the dividend yield relative to interest rates they are as cheap as they have been in 30 years. This is a clear barometer as to how cheap the market is right now. If he were a value investor, he would be backing up the trucks right now.

Not any different than the rest of the banks. They are in a downtrend channel right now. The 200-day moving average has started to flatten out. Somewhere about $46, $47 could start to find support, but it will take time.

Great long-term positions at these prices. Banks report in the next couple of weeks, which will tell us even more if they have any hidden asset backed commercial paper. Could buy half a position now and the rest after the report. Yield is currently above a 10-year government bond.

Largest and probably most conservative of the Canadian banks. He stepped out of most of the Canadian bank exposure because of worries about the asset-backed commercial paper. Might be getting to the point where you could get into the banks again.
