Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO, RY) was upgraded to Buy from Hold at TD Securities on Thursday.
Analyst Mario Mendonca raised his price target on shares of the Canadian bank to $246 from $215 following its Q4 results on Wednesday.
"Overall, a strong quarter for RY," Mendonca said in a note to clients. "Buoyant capital markets activity (trading) supported top line growth and operating leverage was exceptional."
"The significant EPS beat was only incidental relative to the 17%+ ROE guidance, stable credit outlook, capital generation, and buyback message," the analyst said.
"RY should benefit from HSBC-synergies, AI-related savings, deposit mix, and better loan growth."
