What happened
Reached its target in 47 days.
The thesis — published October 18, 2025
Royal Bank of Canada looks attractive after a recent pullback, and investor mood is very positive. It won J.D. Power customer satisfaction for a second year, reinforcing loyalty and pricing power. A possible purchase of Evelyn Partners could open new revenue streams. Shares have beaten the sector by 20.7% this year, and if credit costs stay calm as investors warm to banks, a return toward recent highs in the next three months is realistic.
Primary drivers
- Strong investor optimism combined with a trusted, well-known bank brand
- Possible purchase of Evelyn Partners could broaden services and clients
- Has outperformed the finance sector so far this year, showing strength
- Recent pullback leaves price appealing for long-term investors to start
