Bank of America Securities analyst Ebrahim Poonawala has reiterated their bullish stance on RY stock, giving a Buy rating yesterday.
Ebrahim Poonawala has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including the Royal Bank of Canada’s (RY) distinctive position in the market, characterized by a strong financials franchise with diversity and scale, and robust execution by its leadership team. This has translated into a superior return on equity (ROE) compared to its peers, even as the bank maintains a capital level well above the regulatory minimum, suggesting a solid balance sheet and the potential for future capital deployment.
Furthermore, Poonawala sees potential for the stock to continue outperforming, despite trading at a slight premium compared to historical levels. His optimism is fueled by the bank’s strategic initiatives, such as the turnaround of its US retail bank, synergies from the acquisition of HSBC Canada, and growth from its new US cash management offering. These factors, combined with the bank’s capital allocation strategies which may include buybacks and mergers and acquisitions, underpin Poonawala’s revised earnings per share estimates and increased price objective, supporting his reiteration of a Buy rating for RY.
In another report released yesterday, Canaccord Genuity also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a C$172.00 price target.
