TSE:TD
(A Top Pick Jan 08/20, Up 4%) Has developed a great US franchise that will continue to grow. Selling Ameritrade business to Schwab was a good move that will grow their retail business. TD is well-capitalized like all Canadian banks. Real estate is an ongoing worry in Canada, but TD has a diversified loan book and income stream--not just loaning money, but credit cards, asset management and investment banking. TD is not pricey at current levels, so you can buy it. Pays a great dividend. Banks will improve their cost structure, particularly in the back office. There may be an inflection point later where customers bank online and don't go to actual branches.
Canadian banks are under huge pressure with rates so low. Possible that rates go negative next year, and that's a tax on fixed income. One of Canada's strongest banks, along with Royal. They'll figure out a way to make money, no matter what the environment.
Looking at US banks, their read through is very good. Loan loss reversals, investment banking is doing well. TD will benefit from this as well. All Canadian banks look good here. It is trading at a premium right now. Likes BMO more.
