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.

BUY
Not expensive. Management has done a good job of building value in the last year or two. We'll be growing their franchises in the US.
HOLD
Had an excellent quarter. Has phenomenal ROE. The operations in Canada, particularly the retail banking, wealth management, capital markets business are all performing extremely well. Not crazy about banks at this time but a good holding.
BUY
The preferred bank in Canada. Always more expensive, but it's always better to pay more for a better company. Dividend keeps increasing. Well-managed. Prefers companies that have better growth profiles then banks.
DON'T BUY
Has recovered very well from a year ago. Still feels their are some longer term questions with their strategy. Have been having better news lately and their earnings have been coming in strong. Pretty well priced. Would consider taking profits if you own.
WEAK BUY
RBC Financial has lagged behind in 2005 because of the problems with their US division. They have addressed these problems and the turn around seems to be in place. It is reasonable value. RBC is her third favourite bank, prefers TD and Bank of Nova Scotia.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Royal Bank has had good numbers. Recently split the stock. Raised the dividend 12%. Believes it would be better to wait for a pull-back, around the low 90's. In the long term top banks do relatively well. They are big and liquid.
TRADE
Very likely that a stock split will occur. It is a highly regarded bank, top of the pecking order. It could be an acquirer of other banks. Recently bought a little for a client.
WEAK BUY
Expect to see a stock split in the next earnings report or sometime soon. Retail banking is good and growing. Expect to see solid growth in the next 2 years. Evaluation is on the high end of range, less upside. Feels that TD Bank is more interesting.
BUY
Looking for a stock split and a dividend increase. Earnings are good. Worries a little bit about any Enron problems.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 31/05. Up 8%.) Still likes this bank. US holdings are getting cleaned up. Strong retail market in mortgages and mutual funds has been good.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 31/05. Up 8.5%.) Has recovered from its problems in the US.
HOLD
Think the stock is headed for a split in 2006. Now getting up to a level where it is very close to his target. Pretty fully valued.
HOLD
Likes this bank. They did a better retail product than anybody else. Have done better with their loan losses recently. Valuation on banks is at the higher end.
BUY
Seems to have made the turn in its US operations, which is positive. Not quite out of the woods yet.
TOP PICK
Not for a short-term trade but for 6 or 12 months there are a lot of good things. Very high ROE of 20%. A dividend of almost 3%. After the big run up, it might even pull back a little bit. Be alert to any shock in the US banking system.
