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
Have some challenges in the US but it's a minor issue. Rock solid. Dividends will increase. Prefers others.
BUY
Feels they are the best run Canadian bank. Have a large retail franchise. Good price. Nice dividend yield.
TOP PICK
(A past top pick Jan 22/04. No change.) Has lagged.
WEAK BUY
Not a bad time to buy.
DON'T BUY
Having some big problems in the US. Not getting any return on their US investments.
BUY
Reasonably valued. Profitable. Should continue to see earnings and dividend growth.
BUY
Looks like one of the cheaper banks. Good dividend. Have a very good return on equity.
TOP PICK
Had underperformed. Missed earnings the last two quarters. Most of their troubles are behind them. Trades at a discount to the average bank. Should do well over the next six to 12 months.
WEAK BUY
The banking sector has shown strength through the recent market weakness. Would prefer CIBC which has a more accelerated earnings.
BUY
Just did the 200 day moving average today and the line indicates that it has tested that line five or six times in the last year and it has held. Today’s price would be a decent buying opportunity.
BUY
The last 2/3 quarters, they have disappointed the street. Their foray into the US market is proving a little difficult. They've lagged enough that he has started buying them again. The risk is that it may be dead money for a while.
BUY
Was unfairly sold off this quarter as the quarter was pretty good. There was a onetime event settling with a Dutch bank. Favor the banks for long-term purchase, yield and good stable earnings. Royal has very nice underwriting revenue.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Likes banks as strong core holdings for all portfolios. An excellent bank. In the short-term, may be a little high.
DON'T BUY
As a rule, he sells banks at a 3% dividend and buys them at a 4½% dividend. Theirs is under 3%. Fair market value is about $58/60. At a historical high. If you own, hold for 3/5 years.
BUY
Sale of its peers have done better, but has started to pick up in the last 4/5 months. Good management.
