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.

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.
BUY
Always a class act and probably a pretty good buy here.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 18/06. Up 5%.) A covered call.
HOLD
Raised their dividend, which is an indication of a great endorsement for their company. The really strong quarter was already built into the price, which is why there was no reaction on the market.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 18/05. Up 30%.) Had been under performing for a long time because of problems on US assets. Still likes the bank, but would not be his favourite stock.
HOLD
Has been a good performer of late. Banks are starting to act better.
