Analysts praise its balanced approach to growth and income, particularly highlighting the accelerated growth in capital markets and wealth management sectors. While many experts agree on its premium valuation relative to historical averages, they continue to express confidence in the bank's long-term prospects, backed by solid earnings and a consistent dividend record.

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.
BUY
Canada's Premier Bank. Of all the banks, this is the one to one in terms of diversity of business. Strong mix of credit lending, wealth management, investment banking, transaction processing, etc. 3% yield. Continues to gain market share.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 18/06. Up 26.7%.) A well-run bank. Well-managed.
BUY
Doing a fantastic job in terms of increasing their earnings estimates. His model price is $66.40. That's a positive 14% differential.
BUY
Canadian banks are not cheap, but are not expensive. They pay a reasonable yield and they trade at reasonable valuations.
BUY
Good long-term hold. Good dividend. (For his Top bank choice, see his Top Picks today.)
HOLD
Good earnings growth profile. Expect they will increase the dividend payout ratio over the next couple of years. Looking for 12% upside.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Would wait for some weakness on this one.
HOLD
Banks, generally speaking, will perform reasonably well.
