This summary was created by AI, based on 57 opinions in the last 12 months.

Royal Bank (RY) is widely recognized as the leading bank in Canada, benefiting from a favorable regulatory environment and robust investments in capital markets and wealth management. Many analysts have reiterated it as a 'Top Pick,' citing its strong earnings growth and consistent dividend payments. Despite its strong performance, concerns about valuation persist, particularly with the stock trading at high multiples compared to historical averages. Comments on future growth potential highlight the bank's ability to adapt in the current economic climate, although some experts advise exercising caution due to high valuation levels. Overall, RY is considered a stable, long-term investment with significant upside potential, supported by growing cash reserves and elevated return on equity targets.

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.
COMMENT
The government as commented that they would not oppose bank mergers. This is one of the top banks in Canada. Recent malaise is due to the interest rate environment.
HOLD
Missed a little bit on the last quarter, which was the first time in a number of quarters. Still the premier bank in Canada. Expansion into the US has worked out relatively well.
DON'T BUY
Their #3 bank. It's trading at the higher end of their trading value.
HOLD
Has same chart as the other banks. It's not his favorite bank (TD,Commerce,Montreal). If you own it, hold it. If interest rates go up, that would hurt the banks.
HOLD
The major Canadian bank. Have a history of performing very well, showing extremely strong are ROE's in the past. Last quarter was a little disappointing on the insurance side. US operation is a little bit soft.
HOLD
Unrealistic expectations were set so high, that when quarterly numbers were reported they couldn't be met. Still the best run bank in Canada. Probably ahead of itself.
TOP PICK
ROE of 24%. Up steadily and consistently at 17% from the bottom of this cycle. Have problems with insurance and assets in the US, but these are fixable. They will continue to increase dividends.
BUY
A positive 10% differential.
BUY
This is her 3d favourite bank. Seemed to have straightened out their US troubles. This is a fine company to hold on a long-term basis.
BUY
One of his 2 favourite banks (Toronto Dominion (TD-T) is his 2nd.). Have an amazing retail network. Great returns on their book of business. Trading at reasonable levels.
