This summary was created by AI, based on 55 opinions in the last 12 months.

Royal Bank (RY-T) has been a strong performer, with a consensus appreciation for its stability, especially in its capital markets and wealth management divisions. Experts praise the bank's robust earnings, dividends that have grown consistently, and its strategic acquisition of HSBC Canada, which is expected to enhance its global platform. However, there are concerns regarding its current high valuation relative to historical standards and the overall Canadian banking sector, leading some to suggest trimming positions. While many maintain a positive outlook on RY due to its dominance and management quality, the general sentiment reflects caution against buying at elevated prices with potential headwinds from slowing loan growth and economic pressures.

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.
BUY
Expects it will continue to do well. Ultimately, there will be some form of bank mergers. Not sure that their US strategy is going to work for them.
BUY
All five banks are a great long-term hold. He prefers Commerce (CM-T) and Toronto Dominion (TD-T). This one has had a terrific track record and will continue to.
BUY
Like any of the banks, if you own it long enough the dividend growth is going to get you yield at costs. Get you downside protection. Long term investment.
BUY
Pretty much fully valued, and the same can be said for all the banks. This is pretty much at the top of its range. Dividend is good. Feels that banks, long-term, will return 8%-12% a year.
BUY
5% to 7% return plus 3% to 4% dividends on a long-term basis is a reasonable expectation. This would be her 3rd choice in the banking sector.
