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.

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.

A positive 10% differential.

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.

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.

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.

One of the best run operations. ROE is extremely high. They give a continuing increased dividend.
