Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) has experienced a significant upswing in its stock price following the resolution of its money laundering penalties. However, experts express concerns about the current valuation levels, with many noting that the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of over 16x is historically high compared to previous ceilings of around 13x for Canadian banks. Consequently, some analysts recommend trimming positions to take profits or wait for a potential pullback before reinvesting. Despite the challenges, several contributors appreciate TD's strong Canadian franchise and growth prospects, particularly in capital markets and wealth management, noting that it remains a well-managed institution with room for dividend growth. The consensus among analysts seems to highlight the bank's challenges in the U.S. market, which may limit growth going forward, but the overall outlook remains cautiously optimistic given the stability of the Canadian banking sector.
This is his pick for income-seeking investors. Not a ton of robust growth in Canada, US growth has been curtailed. You don't buy this for growth. You're going to collect your dividend, over 3-5 years you're waiting for some kind of multiple expansion, and your total return should be quite good. Lowest PE multiple of the peer group. Protected dividend, great capital position.
Still a great domestic franchise, and they'll figure things out in the US. One thing they have to consider is exiting the US completely. Canadian banks have all had a history with the biggest underperformer being the next outperformer (think CIBC). Yield is 6%.
She sold some shares after the penalty was announced, because the measures would cap their US growth, an attractive area for growth. Their discounted valuation reflected concerns. They can still grow in Canada. It trades under 10x PE and the dividend is over 5%. If TD can get their act together and grow earnings, she PE could rise.
Earnings disappointed today, withdrawing some guidance. Not looking good from a fundamental perspective. He thinks they're just getting rid of all the bad stuff at this point, a clean sweep for the new CEO.
Technically, pulled back to the bottom of the range of support, looks like it will hold. Could have a few days of really negative performance. Once things settle down, it will meander around here a bit. Eventually, the negative news will wear off.
The fine of $3B (over $4B CAD) was mostly provisioned for in stages. Focus will be on adjusted EPS. Likes the business, though displeased with breakdown in governance and integrity. Tarnished, but not beyond redemption. Discounted valuation is compelling -- margin of safety, attractive entry point. Cautiously optimistic that the worst of the bad news is behind it.
Thought the fine was already priced in, so he was surprised by the huge drop once announced. Big issue is that US franchise was on autopilot, without the great returns from the Canadian side. A chance to reboot. Risk management should improve, and the multiple will come back. Acquisitions are restricted. Lots of capital on hand.
Not a high multiple at 1.2x book, 10x PE. Probably can't buy it any cheaper. Yield is over 5%.
It has come way down with the money laundering scandal. It decided what it will pay but the stock dropped again so it has been doubly punished. Now trading below 10X - the valuation and dividend are OK. Has a new CEO and will manage the U.S. situation OK so could be fine over time. Any positive news could cause it to head back up so it is buyable.
Will be in the penalty box for a long time. For comparison, look at the progress of WFC since 2018.
