Challenged, as it's a smaller bank and has to compete with the larger ones. Transition period right now. In the short-term, deposits are flat and loan books are down. Instead, look at the other six. Payout ratio is as high as it can go. Yield is 6%.

It was the cheapest bank out there, but other banks' valuations have come down, so LB isn't as cheap anymore. LB can't expand; they don't have a national footprint. He doesn't own banks now, but would rank LB down the list. TD is his choice in this sector.

He has three of the larger Canadian banks. They have been a perennial laggard in terms of return on equity. The dividend grows more slowly than other banks and so the illusion of higher yield is tantalizing. He thinks you can do better elsewhere in the financial sector.

December 23, 2019
Canadian Banks He owns Laurentian bank and is holding it for the dividends. In a recession, he expects the Canadian banking sector will get killed. He would likely move to holding the preferreds as he expects a recession by 2021 as it will be safer. You might do better looking into European banks that could create better capital appreciation and dividends. Taking some money off the table, early in the New Year, would make sense. He would be cautious about shorting any Canadian banks as you have to cover the dividends.

(A Top Pick Jul 27/17, Down 6%) They're transitioning as they invest a lot in tech to optimize the bank. The dividend is safe. But it'll take several quarters before seeing the benefits of optimizing. The toughest part is behind them (closing branches), so expect a better share price ahead.

(A Top Pick Dec 07/18, Up 20%) LB is in the best-fiscally run province in Canada, and LB's risks are fairly low. The stock has had a good move lately. A definite hold. It's cheaper than the bigger banks based on book value, and pays a fine yield.

They should be doing well with a strong Quebec real estate market, but they are not. There's a ticking time bomb in their mortgage book. They are also unionized, so they pay higher costs. They compete against the big banks, which is tough. Reading between the lines, there's something worrisome with LB.

(A Top Pick Aug 20/18, Up 1%) Likes it because Quebec is the most fiscally responsible province. Montreal real estate is on a roll. Quebec is turning out as a good place to be. Nice yield. Mortgages have been an issue, plus Americans are down on Canadian banks. Hang on and get well paid to wait.

It is a smaller bank, a regional player. It is tough in Canada to complete with the top 5. It is the only bank that is unionized. It could be caught in the culture by a bigger player. But the banks in Canada should do well in general.

NA or LB? He prefers NA-T as it is better quality and has a more diverse revenue base. He thinks LB-T is having issues and that will continue for some time to come.

(A Top Pick Jul 30/18, Down 1%) LB isn't far from its valuation. Quebec is the strongest province, fiscally. LB struggles because it had mortgage accounting issues, which hasn't faded yet. He sees good potential and still holds it.

When things turn for a small cap, things can get ugly. LB has trouble growing--head office troubles, mortgage troubles. Buy a big Canadian bank instead. Avoid this.

A weak regional bank plagued with operational problems. It won't match the dividend growth of the big banks. This has "value trap" written all over it. Buy one of the big 5 instead.
