# Weekly Recap | ROYAL BANK OF CANADA -2.23%, most brokers rate it buy

## The Week

Royal Bank of Canada fell 2.23% this week to close at $205.90, underperforming the S&P 500 by roughly 1.43 percentage points (the benchmark lost 0.8%). After Monday’s Labour Day break, the stock opened Tuesday at $210.08 and drifted lower through the week, touching a low of $204.23 on Friday. The week’s range was 3.12%, with trading skewed to the downside into the close.

## Key Events

The week’s most visible company item was the 9 September announcement that RBC will mobilise $1.4 billion to back Canada’s next generation of global technology champions and advance nation-building initiatives. On 11 September, RBC highlighted critical minerals and nuclear opportunities at the Canada Investment Summit, and its City National unit named Chad Lloyd to lead the U.S. Mortgage business. CFO Katherine Gibson also spoke at the Barclays Global Financial Services Conference on 8 September, while RBC strategist Calvasina flagged rising risk of a 10% pull back in U.S. equities on 9 September. Filings were dominated by 424B2 structured note prospectus documents, with roughly 20 material filings during the week.

## Analyst Ratings

Among 15 covering firms, 5 rate it buy, 4 rate it overweight, 5 rate it hold, and 1 rates it underweight, with no sell or no-opinion ratings. The consensus recommendation is buy. The consensus target of $212.52 sits about 3.22% above the latest price. The target range of $184.46 to $231.77 is wide, pointing to considerable disagreement among analysts. RBC ranks 11th among 60 names in its industry.

## The Week Ahead

The U.S. calendar includes the New York Fed manufacturing index on Tuesday 15 September, followed on Wednesday 16 September by retail sales, retail sales ex-autos, import prices, NAHB housing index and EIA crude inventories. For RBC, the direct catalyst is further out: fiscal Q4 2026 results are scheduled for 3 December pre-market, with consensus at $2.9569 EPS and $13.3 billion in revenue.

## In Short

Shares eased this week while sell-side consensus stayed at buy and the consensus target held above spot by 3.22%, though a $47 spread between the highest and lowest targets shows wide disagreement. Valuation sits around 17.72x earnings and 2.98x book, with a dividend yield near 2.30%. The latest session’s flows showed net selling from small and medium orders. The next reads are U.S. macro data and December’s earnings update.
