The 3 Best Bank Stocks to Buy Now
The Globe and Mail published an article on Sept. 23 that discussed the terrifying — and highly profitable — journey of a bank stock . The bank in question was Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE: RY ), Canada’s largest company and arguably one of North America’s best bank stocks to buy. Although the article is behind a paywall — I’m a subscriber — I can give readers the gist of Globe contributor John Heinzl’s article. Heinzl assumes that an investor bought 10,000 Canadian dollars of Royal Bank stock on Sept. 21, 2002, and held it for the next 20 years, adding no additional contributions over the two decades. While it got hit on two occasions: Late 2008 into 2009 (financial crises) and March 2020 (Covid-19), it ultimately delivered an annualized total return of 12.45% over 20 years. Your 10,000 Canadian Dollars would be worth 104,618 Canadian dollars. The SPDR SP 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY ) had an annualized total return of 9.7% over the same period, 280 basis points less. Canadian investors love their bank stocks because of the dividends.
