Royal Bank (RY) is widely regarded as one of the top banks in Canada, with many experts praising its strong operational performance and stability. The bank has successfully integrated its recent HSBC acquisition, which is expected to enhance its capital markets and wealth management divisions. Analysts point to RY's diversified revenue streams and solid balance sheet, positioning it well for both domestic and international growth. While some experts express caution regarding its current high valuation relative to peers and potential market corrections, the general sentiment is that RY remains a quality investment for the long term, especially given its solid dividend track record and strategic initiatives. Overall, RY is consistently recommended as a preferable choice among Canadian banks, favored over others like TD and CM.

(A Top Pick Feb 09/24, Up 29%)

Will benefit from any passive flows given its huge weight in ETFs. A quality company. Is not overly concerned with credit losses.

WEAK BUY

In his opinion, the only quality banks in Canada are RY and NA. Best run for decades. He's not a huge bull on the Canadian banks, but this is one of the two names he'd buy.

HOLD

The best Canadian bank.

BUY

Her favourite Canadian bank. Well positioned domestically, US operations will benefit from capital markets activity. HSBC acquisition should increase potential domestically. 

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 25/19, Up 94%)

Excellent bank with international presence. Will continue to own shares. Brand value very strong in Canada. Will continue to buy whenever the share price dips. Balance sheet excellent. Not exposed to the threat of tariffs from the USA. 

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Rotated out of TD and into RY with its strong wealth management, giving their portfolio the needed US exposure.

HOLD

Owns and likes.

HOLD
Sell CM to buy RY?

CM is taking less on credit provisions than other banks. Positive: credit situation better than others. Negative: taking more risk and, if wrong, stock would be penalized. CM is Canada-centric. Exposed to residential mortgages and commercial real estate in Canada; two iffy sectors, but doing better than expected. Good earnings and good asset management. 

Don't sell CM. Trades more cheaply than RY. RY commands a premium price for a premium asset.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 15/23, Up 37%)

A good company, but is ahead of itself now. Canada has low interest rates and a weak economy, and yet bank shares have been rallying aggressively. Wouldn't be surprised if this pulled back, but he likes this long term.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 23/23, Up 54%)

Nothing has gone wrong for them. The HSBC merger closed last March and will synergize nicely. RY trades at a premium PE and yields 3.2%. She likes their capital markets business, half in the U.S, which could increase in 2025.

BUY

Can't go wrong buying this one. One of his favourites in the space, along with BMO.

BUY
vs. gold

He's never owned gold. The price of gold over 30 years vs. prices of RY that period: RY has massively outperformed gold over that time. Despite gold's rally recently, it actually lags many stocks historically.

HOLD

Bank valuations are at high end of traditional range. Concerned about earnings growth going forward. Canadian economy has issues. US expansion may be more limited for a while.

BUY

Would prefer over TD bank. Excellent business that is rock sold. Very strong balance sheet. Excellent brand name in Canada. 

BUY

If you're in a bull market, you want to own the strongest stocks you can find. He prefers "good, getting better", some kind of positive change that could add to the valuation, and where other people agree with him. He owns RY, CM, and NA; firing on all cylinders.
