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.

DON'T BUY
Not one of her favorites. Trading at the highest P/E multiple of the big five banks.
BUY
Outlook for the banks is still pretty good. This is one of 2 banks that he would be focused on at the moment.
BUY
A good solid core in the portfolio.
BUY
Likes the bank stocks. Has relative safety. Currently, they are priced fairly well plus a 3% or better yield. The Royal has made some real improvements, especially in the US operations. ROE is running around 23%. A good long-term hold. You will do better with the Commerce (CM-T) or Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T).
BUY
Seasonality for banks is from the end of September to the end of May. Average return for the last 10 periods has been 15.2% plus dividends. Royal has been profitable 10 out of 10 times. It will probably sit at its present price for a little bit and then will continue on.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 18/05. Up 32%.) Still likes, but would want some weakness before buying any more.
BUY
Has one of the best retail franchises in Canada. He feels retail is an 18% ROE business. They are slowly sorting out their issues in the US. One of the best wealth management businesses.
BUY
Three favourite banks are the Commerce (CM-T), Toronto Dominion (TD-T) and the Royal (RY-T)
BUY
Believes that this stock is the most stable out of all the bank stocks. It has good management. Believes that TD bank is ahead of itself. Sees nothing wrong with the bank stocks.
BUY
For a long term outlook, this is a good bank to be in. Expanding into the US in a fairly conscientious way. Prefers Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-) or The Commerce (CM-T).
BUY
Anything with a dividend yield attached to it will be a leader. Banks have a great record of bumping their dividends along the way. A safe haven for investors who are moving into a more defensive position.
COMMENT
Banks have reported very good numbers. With interest rates peaking, and maybe declining, there is probably no valuation pressure. Can see 10% growth in the Banks. Prefers Toronto Dominion (TD-T).
BUY
The spread between short-term and long-term rates will probably widen which is quite good for the banks. Feels that all the banks are good investments here. Likes Toronto Dominion (TD-T) and Royal (RY-T), which are gaining market share.
BUY
Banks had under performed in the last year because of rising interest rates. It now appears that interest rates have peaked, so the margin squeeze will come to an end. Good yields.
BUY
One of the better banks. Their retail network is much better run. The big question mark is their US growth strategy which is what you have to keep an eye on.
