The National Bank of Canada (NA-T) has garnered positive reviews from various experts who appreciate its strong management, robust financial performance, and strategic growth through acquisitions, particularly the recent purchase of Canadian Western Bank (CWB). While some analysts caution about potential economic headwinds affecting Canadian banks, many believe NA's geographic focus on Quebec and its limited exposure to the U.S. commercial real estate market position it well for resilience. The stock is seen as trading at a competitive valuation compared to its larger peers, often being favored alongside Royal Bank (RY). Overall, experts express confidence in NA's long-term prospects, viewing it as a solid investment within the Canadian banking sector despite the potential for some short-term price corrections.
Likes it in general. Great platform and franchise. If economy is heading for a contraction (for whatever reason), this name doesn't have the geographic exposure of the other 5 banks. Mainly in Quebec; very small US and international footprint. Extremely good job of growing, so he wouldn't bet against management. It's a macro call.
Disclosure: his dealer custody is with NA.
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.
If only he could roll back the time machine on his portfolio.... The bank that grew up and took a well-deserved seat at the big boys' table. Exceptional bank, packs a big punch in capital markets. Standout results. Purchase of CWB is a hand-in-glove fit, strategically sound, likely accretive. Lots of blue sky ahead, no qualms adding.
Overall, banks should be correcting a little more than they are now. He sees some growth risks in Canada specifically. A bank like this, that's mostly exposed to the Canadian consumer and market, will have a bit of a correction if our economy is weaker.
Likes the name, but he'd wait for more of a drop before putting in new $$, perhaps another $10 lower.
Leader in Canadian banking stocks. Good capital decision making. Strong balance sheet. Recent share price weakness could be a good time to buy. Domestic banks are more exposed to weakness in Canadian economy. Does not own shares right now.
Despite its expected growth, National remains cheap. It trades at 12.16x PE, compared to TD's 17.6x and Royal's 15.82x. True, NA's 3.13% dividend yield falls short of, say, BMO's 4.62%, but the projected growth makes up for this. Another plus is that National has no exposure to office real estate in the U.S., and only 8% exposure in commercial real estate there. Most of the bank's assets and operations lie in Canada. NA-T is a buy and hold.
Doesn't own, but has no problems with this name in a portfolio.
Can't go wrong buying this one. One of his favourites in the space, along with BMO.
Handily outperformed most of the other Big 6 for more than a decade. Boost in trading multiple well deserved. No quarrels investing with a 2-year timeframe. Yield's between 3-4%.
As a group, he'd be more cautious. But this one has done a good job over the years and that will probably continue. Somewhat isolated from some of the concerns surrounding the new US administration. Not the cheapest, but will have a higher ROE than peers. You can hold or even accumulate.
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.
Loves the Canadian banks long term. His favourites are NA and RY right now.
A leader in the sector over the last year.
Don't fight the trend. Has been the leader, continues to work. The winners continue to win, so the valuation doesn't really bother him.
