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.

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.
TOP PICK
Around 15 X earnings. Relative to the 22 X weighted average on the TSX, it’s relatively cheap. ROE level is over 23% so is growing its book value at over 10% per annum. Yields have generally been close to 3%.
BUY
His model price is $61.94. A 14% positive differential.
HOLD
A superb Canadian domestic franchise. Have cleaned up their US expansion problems. Doing very well, particularly with their wealth management.
BUY
A good entry point right now.
BUY
His model price is substantially above their present price.
