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.

TRADE
Likes Canadians banks, they will fare better than American counterparts.
COMMENT
Used to be the leader and traded at a premium. Have struggled a bit with their US operations.
DON'T BUY
Feels it is pricey at over 3X book. 3.7% yield but you can do as well in many of the other banks.
BUY
Had a pretty good quarter. Banks look very interesting here. Doesn't think there's a lot more damage that could be felt on the asset side. Very well run.
HOLD
In the current economy, banks will be leading the market down but once things turn around, they would lead the market back up. Doesn't think we are finished going down yet. Wait.
TOP PICK
They have done a lot of things very well. Off about 10% from its highs. Yields about 3.6%. Good solid dividend. Multiple is less than the market, but earnings are growing greater than the market. Will be net beneficiaries of the subprime crisis eventuall
BUY
The leader of Canadian financials. It has held in a little better than the other Canadian banks and trades at a higher multiple. A leader in fixed income trading and bond portfolio, which seems to be slowing down.
WAIT
Probably the one bank with the least wrinkles, warts or imperfections. When the market shows signs of basing, and the bank stocks do the same, it would be a great buy.
WAIT
Exposure to subprime mortgages would be minimal compared to US banks. Mortgage market is slowing down. Sentiment is that the multiples in the US are pulling the stock down. Not risky, but the sentiment is currently wrong. Wait until September.
TOP PICK
Has a dominant position in the banking and money management areas. Good dividend and earnings growth. Good long-term investment.
BUY
Pretty good bank for the long haul.
HOLD
Canadian banks are essentially flat year to date. They are still excellent long-term places to be.
BUY
Has a dominant franchise in Canada.
WAIT
The outlook for all the major Canadian chartered banks in the next 6 months is less than stellar because of the rising interest-rate environment. 12 months and beyond, you'll probably see the end of that and the outlook will be good.
BUY
Likes the financials. Banks are not as interest sensitive as they used to be. Banks have had a relatively quiet 6 months so they are poised for the 2nd half.
