Company Report

Royal Bank of Canada Earnings: Results Largely as Expected, Although Expenses Remain a Headwind

Wide-moat-rated Royal Bank of Canada, or RBC, reported decent fourth-quarter results. Adjusted earnings per share came in at CAD 2.78, flat year over year. Provisioning increased 16% quarter over quarter, which is in line with our expectations of increasing credit costs for all Canadian banks in the coming quarters. The current results do not fundamentally change our view on RBC or our CAD 130/USD 95 fair value estimates.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Royal Bank of Canada's worldwide scope in capital markets and wealth management provides a powerful and diversified stream of revenue. This should lead to outsize fee income versus peers.

Bears

The bank has one of the larger exposures to the Canadian housing market, and as the Canadian consumer's ability to borrow becomes constrained, RBC may struggle to achieve loan and revenue growth, and incur additional credit risk.
