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
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.
BUY
One of the best run operations. ROE is extremely high. They give a continuing increased dividend.
COMMENT
Banking sector has had a great run in the last 3 years. Expects this year will be a dividend plus 3%-4% year giving a 7% to 8% return.
BUY
Doesn't feel you can go wrong buying the stock, providing you have longer-term objective. Very nice dividend. Would also consider Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T), which offers a slightly higher dividend and higher ROE.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 18/06. Up 6%.) A sale of a Covered Call. Dividend of about 3% gave a cash flow. A short-term trade for about 2 or 3 months.
COMMENT
Its US subsidiary, Ventura, will benefit from the conservative nature of its Canadian parent’s lending practices and shouldn't be hit as hard by sub-prime and prime mortgage problems.
BUY
2nd or 3rd favourite among the banks. Prefers Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) which has more prospects in Latin America than this one does in the US.
COMMENT
Banks are good solid businesses that make money over time and have a record of increasing dividends. Prefers Bank of America (BAC-N), which is a lot cheaper and higher dividend and with greater opportunity. He holds no Canadian banks.
