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.
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.
