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.

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.
HOLD
Has done a great job over the last little while. Not adding at this time as the banks are trading at about 3 X book value. Would be more interested if they had a little bit of a pullback to 2.5 X book value.
HOLD
Very conservative. The dividend is going to continue going up.
HOLD
When you draw your two trendlines, the stock has broken through the upper trend line. You now have draw a new series of trendlines and as long as it stays above that continue to hold
BUY
Positive on the Canadian banks in general. A keeper. Pays a good dividend.
TOP PICK
This is for RBC Jan 08 call options. Would be looking to buy the $80 call or the $78 call, so they are "in the money" call options. Thinks that banks will deliver double digit retuns over the next 2 years. The leverage factor would be about 3 to 1 so you would have some pretty decent returns.
