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.

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.
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.
