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
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.
HOLD
Although she owns some of this, she prefers Toronto Dominion (TD-T) and Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) as a combined arrangement. In the intermediate term, expect these 2 will be better performers. This one has recovered from some of the market negatives it had when its US operations weren't going well. Good bank and will probably reported good earnings.
TOP PICK
Of the top 5 banks it is generating the 2nd best profit growth and highest level of profitability. Had a recent correction, but looks like it is rebounding. Interest-rate sensitive and he believes bond yields in the US move towards the 4.4 level and maybe lower by year end. The stock has a high level of ROE, a 3% dividend yield and good profit growth.
BUY
Feels that Royal Bank (RY-T) and Toronto Dominion (TD-T) banks have the sort of strategy that is very interesting, especially for the US. Management has clear vision of where they want to go.
WEAK BUY
Went through a difficult time a couple of years ago because of their US operations. This seems to have been solved. Would prefer Toronto Dominion (TD-T) or Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T).
BUY
Banks have pulled back quite aggressively because of the increase in interest rates. Now we are looking at a scenario where there will be a pause. This is an opportunity to get into some of the financials. This is a leader.
