Royal Bank of Canada Aktie News

I don't love valuation models because they rely on assumptions, and assumptions can be dangerous. But we still need to pay attention. I sold my position in BIPC not because I don't like the stock or that I'm spooked by recent movement, but rather in the optic of portfolio simplification. Since I started this portfolio in September 2017, I have received a total of $36,444.54 CAD in dividends.

Royal Bank of Canada continues to outperform the broader market despite a consistently rich valuation. RY's strong brand, pricing power, scale, and diversified income streams allow it to defy traditional valuation models. I maintain a Hold rating on RY stock, recognizing the company's quality but remaining cautious on valuation grounds.

Dividend increases include a boost of 6.67% from Dividend Champion Donaldson and a raise of 4.17% from Dividend King Lowe's. Canadian banks BMO, RY, and TD announced modest dividend hikes but are overvalued, with compressed yields near 3%. CSWC declared a special dividend, but its payout ratio above 100% and low quality and safety scores signal caution.
