TOP PICK

The banks are reporting in early December, and the clear winner is TD. BMO, BNS and CIBC were mixed or missed while Royal modestly grew earnings by 2% year-over-year. All the banks have had a challenging year, particularly Canadian ones which face a real estate had looked poised for a serious downturn until October numbers signalled a bounce in housing price and demand. Looking ahead, though, all the banks are cushioning their balance sheets to absorb any bad mortgages as interest rates climb and a recession (perhaps mild) looms.

BUY

High quality, second largest in Canada, top 25 in the world. Well run, likes it. Financial metrics are favourable. He'd buy.

BUY

TD vs. CM for the long term? TD. CM has a lower valuation, but TD has everything going for it. CM is struggling, and he's wary of that. Go with the better quality ones now. His firm looks at valuation, not fundamentals. When it's time to buy value, he'd look at CM.

WAIT

TD vs. MFC vs. SLF All financials got beaten up. Issue with banks is potential loan losses, and if it's a deep recession, loan losses can get bigger. A lot of financials can be a black box, and you don't see the damage until it's too late. Impressed by what MFC has done over time, nice dividend yield. All financials are starting to look interesting. Banks look attractive valuation-wise, but he'd wait.

BUY

The banks are an indicator of markets. Capital markets activity (a lot less M&A) has impacted banks. However, net interest income is positive. On balance, banks have a decent profit profile. They hold a lot of capital to pull many levers like buy back shares. He is quite positive all banks. His favourites are BNS and TD, followed by Royal. CIBC has a weaker growth profile.

HOLD

Short-term risks to banks. Integration risks with acquisitions. Dividend safe, growing. Don't sell just because stock's sold off. Valuation has checked back, with possibly more to go. Be patient deploying capital. If you own it, hold, and perhaps diversify elsewhere. See his Top Picks.

HOLD

TD has expanded its NIM in the US, so last quarter they benefited the most out of all the banks. Best in class. He's lightened up on financials. Valuations are compelling, but margin and loan growth will be stagnant. Banks don't do well in recessions. No tailwinds right now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 14/21, Up 11%) The valuation is below historic averages. They will acquire First Horizon bank in the U.S. southeast which will expand TD's presence there. As interest rates rise along with loan growth, TD's net interest margin will expand. They also bought Cowen to expand in capital markets. They still have a strong balance sheet. The dividend, the smallest among the big 5 banks, will continue to increase.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate TD as a TOP PICK. During economic uncertainty Canadian chartered banks are a safe haven. TD recently reported its 9th consecutive quarter of beating earning expectations. Retail margins are increasing and wealth management is growing market share. The dividend is good, growing by over 7% annually for the past 10 years. Rising interest rates are good for their bottom line. We recommend placing a stop loss at $72.50, looking to achieve $100 -- over 16% upside. Yield 4.0% (Analysts’ price target is $99.25)

HOLD

Their quarterly report was among the best of the banks in late-August. It has a larger US retail business as opposed to the capital business focus of its peers. TD should benefit from higher net interest margins more than those peers, so rising interest rates will benefit TD, though they will be bad for consumer credits--more consumers may default on loans. Also, we need to see the surge in rates filter down to mortgages and business loans--wait and see on TD. He is holding his shares for now and not adding, though banks are cheaper now historically.

TOP PICK

A great value creator for years. Best Canadian bank in terms of recent Q3 results. Their US division did very well because it's very net-interest margin sensitive, so rising rates help and more than offsets credit loss provisions. Their Canadian business did very well. Their investment bank business-weak across the sector--is relatively small for TD and didn't impact overall results that badly. They are closing their deal of First Horizon Bank, a huge $600+ million of synergy that will create value. (Analysts’ price target is $99.27)

BUY

It should see better scale and a better rate of return. It bought an investment bank in the U.S. and so will see better scale on the investment banking business in the U.S. and Canada. It is at a good price level and the dividend yield is 4.1%. Canadian banks are at a good valuation with lots of capital and room to expand.

WEAK BUY

Building back a position in the banks, but not overweight. Great exposure to US, great performer. Still some concern of a recession. Yield of 4% that grows 7-8% a year is attractive.

TOP PICK

More than half their assets are in the US. Have many branches there. so, their interest rate speakrs (Analysts’ price target is $101.41)
