Market Roundup Report
The big banks’ earnings report continues with Royal Bank of Canada, RBC (TSX:RY), taking the turn today. RBC delivered a strong earnings report that showed strong growth across all of its business segments. The reader is reminded that RBC swallowed HSBC in Canada last year. RBC has been up 28% this year. There is most likely more to come in addition to the 28%. The big banks’ earnings report continues with CIBC reporting early on Thursday. RY stock was the top performer on the TSX today.
Stocks to keep an eye on include the big six banks, Quebecor Inc. (TSX:QBR.B), and Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ). CNQ appears to be building the right side of a “cup” pattern with a buy point at $46.54. CNQ pays a quarterly Dividend/Yield currently at $0.49/5.44%. This is most likely better than some one year GICs out there in the banks’ offers.
