Royal Bank (RY-T) has garnered a strong reputation among experts, with many emphasizing its leading position in the Canadian banking sector. Analysts have highlighted solid earnings growth, improved capital reserves, and strategic moves such as the acquisition of HSBC Canada that bolster its international presence. Despite the stock trading at a premium valuation, which some view as excessive, many experts consider it a dependable long-term investment, citing its consistent dividend increases and robust fundamentals. However, caution is advised due to high current valuations and concerns over a potential downturn in the broader banking sector. The consensus reflects a belief in the bank's resilience, although calls for profit-taking and a waiting strategy for better entry points have emerged as common themes.

BUY
Underpriced. Also likes National Bank and Bank of Nova Scotia.
BUY
A ranking in bank stocks that have more than 20% differential between their model price and stock-price is #1 National #2 Bank of Nova Scotia #3 Royal Bank #4 Toronto Dominion. Loves any of these.
DON'T BUY
Not a fan of the Bank's right now, but if he was, Toronto Dominion and National would be the two he would be interested in.
BUY
Nothing spectacular came out of the bank earnings. As slight miss. Likes it for a short-term trade. Could see a slight upside.
DON'T BUY
3 1/2% yield. A good entry point on this stock would be in the low $40's. Can't see a good deal of upside.
TOP PICK
3 1/2 % yield. 12 X earnings. 26% earnings growth. Extremely well-run. Should have good growth.
PAST TOP PICK
(A top pick Apr 1/04. Down 6%.) Still likes. Valuation is very cheap.
BUY
In the long run, the banks are the best place to be. In the near term, with a rising interest rates they have not been acting as well. Have had a lot of missteps in the US so has not performed well.
BUY
The policy on bank mergers has been tabled pending the federal election. Selling of bank stocks has been overdone.
BUY
Financial service sector has two periods of seasonal strength. End of September to end of December and end of February to end of May.
BUY
Has been a laggard to its peers. Took a hit because of their US holdings. Stronger US dollar should help them.
HOLD
Likes this bank, but wouldn't say it is the top financial service company of there. Would prefer Manulife. 3% yield.
BUY
Has been beat up pretty badly over the past 1 1/2 years because of the acquisitions in the US and the troubles in the mortgage market in the US. A lot of the bad news is already in the stock. Valuation is looking more intriguing.
WEAK BUY
4% dividend versus other banks with 3%. Good bank for a long term hold, but would prefer Toronto Dominion in the shorter term.
DON'T BUY
Long-term interest rates have been rising. That makes it difficult for financial institutions.
