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.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
As it gets close to $50, it becomes fully valued. A good entry point is under $45.
DON'T BUY
His current model price is $51.70. That is only a positive 9.7% differential. The model price has been going down because interest rates have been going up.
DON'T BUY
Banks, by default, are going to attract some money. The church seems to indicate the upward trend is over. In bear markets, wealth management companies do not do so well.
BUY
Banks have pulled back for the first 4/5 months of this year. Down to a level where they should be purchased.
WEAK BUY
One of the few banks that still has some good operating leverage in it. Fairly priced but there is still a lot they can do to cut their cost structure and change some of their US operations and to grow it. Some good opportunities. Okay for the long-term.
TOP PICK
Better valuation probably then most of the other financial stocks. Good ROE level at around 21/22%, which is very high. Good dividend yield.
BUY
Likes the banking sector. His favourite is Toronto Dominion (TD-T) with Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) and Royal (RY-T) following in that order.
BUY
Probably the most expensive of the banks right now at 13.1 P/E. yield is 3.19%.
