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
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.
HOLD
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.
COMMENT
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.
WEAK BUY
Have reduced exposure in banks within financials. Boring. You get the dividend and tax credit. The Canadian economy should do much better than the U.S.
COMMENT
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.
COMMENT
Over the long term you will be a winner with either Toronto Dominion (TD-T) or Royal RY-T). Fantastic retail franchises, which will really determine the winners in the banking space. TD has been knocked back a bit so you get a better valuation with it.
HOLD
Stick with Canadian financial services sector over American. Stick with Royal bank over American banks.
SELL
Doesn't particularly like the banks so we would be more on the Sell side of things.
TOP PICK
(Note: - Royal employs him.) Very aggressive in making acquisitions outside Canada. 4th largest banker in the Caribbean. Increased its dividend 25% in the last year. Good value.
HOLD
A good long-term hold. Her other choices in banks would be Toronto Dominion (TD-T) and Scotia (BNS-T). At this price, she is taking some money off the table and putting it into non-bank financials.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Banks as a group have been taking a rest recently. The Royal is a class act. This is the kind of stock you can buy and put away. The upcoming environment for the banks is a little bit tricky right now, so you will have opportunities to buy.
DON'T BUY
Had been subject to some top forming and problem areas. Had a strong up leg and then went into a head and shoulders formation. Price has fallen below the moving averages, which indicates some problems ahead.
DON'T BUY
Wouldn’t be buyer. Canadian over own financial stocks. Poor performer since August.
COMMENT
Because of their increased exposure in the US are facing a bit of the credit crunch and are being tarred on sub primes with the same brush. Some of the other banks are looking better to investors.
TRADE
Likes Canadians banks, they will fare better than American counterparts.
