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.

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%.
BUY
Gives you a 23% ROE. Biggest bank in Canada. A more conservative holding.
HOLD
Good management and good decision-making. All the Canadian banks, in spite of the pullback, are still only fair value.
DON'T BUY
Fully valued. Corporate finance had a good run, but those numbers cannot be extrapolated into the future.
BUY
Good bank. Clicking away in all the right places. Have a great core franchise in retail. Good level.
BUY
All of the banks have retraced a little bit. If your time horizon is long enough, this is a buying opportunity. Can see a possible 15% one-year return at low risk.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 22/05. Up 8%.) This was for a Jan/08 call option which probably tripled.
TOP PICK
This is selling a covered call. Dividend of about 3% gives you a cash flow. Because banks are correcting based on fears of interest rates going up further, this is not a bad way to play the banks for the next 2/3 months.
BUY
They have addressed their problems in the US and have turned it around. A reasonable story. Bank stocks are vulnerable to the interest-rate environment in the short-term. Great place to be for the long term. Very little competition.
HOLD
Banks are not cheap, by traditional measures. They are all trading above their historical price to earnings ratio levels. Substantially more expensive than the American/New York money central banks. As interest rates go up, he expects banks to lose their momentum.
HOLD
Canadian banks look a little expensive compared to US banks but, on the other hand, they are in a much stronger competitive position. Mutual-fund sales have been excellent.
BUY
Prefers Toronto Dominion (TD-T) and Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T). This would be her third choice. It has made the turn on its US operations.
DON'T BUY
The outlook for financials has been quite good and continues to be good. Used to be the best run bank, but went through a period where it was tripping over itself. The quality of management has been picking up. Has had a big run and is probably overpriced.
