I will start off with my favourite measure of for determining if the current stock price is relatively good or not. My favourite measure is to compare the current dividend yield with the historical dividend yield. The last column shows difference between the current dividend yield and the historical median dividend yield. What you want is a current dividend yield equal to or above the historical median dividend yield.
In 2022 all but the BNS has a dividend yield below the historical median dividend yields. They are all within the reasonableness range. On this basis the BNS is relatively cheaper than all the other banks.
| Bank 2022 | Symbol | Price | Dividend | Yield | M/C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank of Montreal | BMO | $150.04 | $5.32 | 3.55% | -15.78% |
| Bank of Nova Scotia | BNS | $94.48 | $4.00 | 4.23% | 2.76% |
| CIBC | CM | $166.52 | $6.44 | 3.87% | -13.09% |
| Royal Bank | RY | $147.14 | $4.80 | 3.26% | -15.71% |
| National Bank | NA | $103.75 | $3.48 | 3.35% | -15.72% |
| TD Bank | TD | $107.41 | $3.56 | 3.31% | -5.30% |
In 2021 National Bank had a dividend yield below the historical median dividend yields, but still within a reasonable range. All the rest had dividend yields above the historical median dividend yields and therefore reasonable. Also, both BNS and TD Bank are showing the stock price as cheap.
| Bank 2021 | Symbol | Price | Dividend | Yield | M/C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank of Montreal | BMO | $97.60 | $4.24 | 4.34% | 1.26% |
| Bank of Nova Scotia | BNS | $69.40 | $3.60 | 5.19% | 26.21% |
| CIBC | CM | $111.06 | $5.84 | 5.26% | 18.97% |
| Royal Bank | RY | $107.36 | $4.32 | 4.02% | 2.65% |
| National Bank | NA | $73.55 | $2.84 | 3.86% | -3.95% |
| TD Bank | TD | $73.58 | $3.16 | 4.29% | 22.70% |
The next checking of the stock price I will look at is using the Price/Sales Ratio. Here for a reasonable or cheap stock price you want the current P/S Ratio to be lower than the 10 year median ratio.
In 2022 only BNS has a P/S Ratio within the reasonableness range. All the other banks are showing that the stock price is expensive based on P/S Ratio testing as all the current P/S Ratios are more than 20% above the 10 year median P/S Ratio.
| Bank 2022 | Symbol | Price | Rev / Share | P/S Ratio | M/C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank of Montreal | BMO | $150.04 | $41.38 | 3.63 | 45.04% |
| Bank of Nova Scotia | BNS | $94.48 | $26.58 | 3.55 | 15.41% |
| CIBC | CM | $166.52 | $47.58 | 3.50 | 32.57% |
| Royal Bank | RY | $147.14 | $34.79 | 4.23 | 35.56% |
| National Bank | NA | $103.75 | $28.11 | 3.69 | 30.88% |
| TD Bank | TD | $107.41 | $22.99 | 4.67 | 48.01% |
In 2021 only BNS had ratios lowered than the 10 year ratio. The rest have stock price that are reasonable, but above the median. BMO, BNS, National Bank and TD Bank are all relatively cheaper in 2021 than in 2020.
| Bank 2021 | Symbol | Price | Rev/Share | P/S Ratio | M/C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank of Montreal | BMO | $97.60 | $36.58 | 2.67 | 6.72% |
| Bank of Nova Scotia | BNS | $69.40 | $24.99 | 2.78 | -13.75% |
| CIBC | CM | $111.06 | $42.35 | 2.62 | 3.87% |
| Royal Bank | RY | $107.36 | $32.00 | 3.36 | 11.46% |
| National Bank | NA | $73.55 | $24.52 | 3.00 | 7.83% |
| TD Bank | TD | $73.58 | $21.62 | 3.40 | 7.82% |
The next checking of the stock price I will look at is using the Price/Book Value per Share Ratio. Here you want the current P/B Ratio to be lower than the 10 year median P/B. Ratio. Here the last column shows how much above or below the current P/B Ratio is compared to the 10 year median P/B Ratio.
For this test in 2022, BNS, CIBC and RY are showing a stock price still within the reasonableness range. BMO, NA and TD are showing the stock price as relatively expensive as their current P/B Ratio is more than 20% higher than the 10 year median P/B Ratio.
| Bank 2022 | Symbol | Price | BVPS | Current P/B | M/C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank of Montreal | BMO | $150.04 | $80.18 | 1.87 | 35.60% |
| Bank of Nova Scotia | BNS | $94.48 | $53.28 | 1.77 | 11.53% |
| CIBC | CM | $166.52 | $91.66 | 1.82 | 12.14% |
| Royal Bank | RY | $147.14 | $65.22 | 2.26 | 18.12% |
| National Bank | NA | $103.75 | $47.06 | 2.20 | 25.26% |
| TD Bank | TD | $107.41 | $51.60 | 2.08 | 30.92% |
In this test for 2021, the banks of BNS, CIBC showed a price that was relatively cheap. For BMO, Royal Bank and TD the price is relatively reasonable and below the median. For National Bank the price is relatively reasonable but above the median. Bank of Montreal, Royal Bank, National Bank and TD Bank are all relatively cheaper in 2021 compared to 2020.
| Bank 2021 | Symbol | Price | BVPS | Curr P/B | M/C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank of Montreal | BMO | $97.60 | $79.34 | 1.23 | -12.76% |
| Bank of Nova Scotia | BNS | $69.40 | $51.85 | 1.34 | -21.27% |
| CIBC | CM | $111.06 | $83.67 | 1.33 | -25.01% |
| Royal Bank | RY | $107.36 | $56.86 | 1.89 | -3.67% |
| National Bank | NA | $73.55 | $38.91 | 1.89 | 7.40% |
| TD Bank | TD | $73.58 | $49.80 | 1.48 | -8.23% |
In another test I look at the Price/Graham Price Ratio compared to the 10 year median P/GP Ratio. You want the current P/GP Ratio to be lower than the 10 year median P/GP Ratio. Here again the last column says how much the current P/GP Ratio is above or below the 10 year median P/GP Ratio.
In 2022, the banks of BNS, and CIBC are showing within the reasonableness range as the current P/GP Ratio is less than 20% above the 10 year median P/GP Ratio. The other banks are showing as expensive.
| Bank 2022 | Symbol | Price | Graham Pr | P/GP Ratio | M/C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank of Montreal | BMO | $150.04 | $150.76 | 1.00 | 21.37% |
| Bank of Nova Scotia | BNS | $94.48 | $99.57 | 0.95 | 11.63% |
| CIBC | CM | $166.52 | $168.09 | 0.99 | 20.81% |
| Royal Bank | RY | $147.14 | $127.63 | 1.15 | 17.64% |
| National Bank | NA | $103.75 | $97.73 | 1.06 | 22.02% |
| TD Bank | TD | $107.41 | $95.65 | 1.12 | 22.06% |
In 2021, BMO, BNS, CIBC, and TD Bank are all showing current P/GP Ratios lower than 10 year median P/GP ratios. These banks are showing stock prices that are reasonable and below the median. The Royal Bank and National Bank are showing stock prices that are reasonable, but above the median. BMO and National Bank are relatively cheaper in 2021 compared to 2020.
| Bank 2021 | Symbol | Price | Graham Pr | P/GP Ratio | M/C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank of Montreal | BMO | $97.60 | $122.53 | 0.80 | -4.03% |
| Bank of Nova Scotia | BNS | $69.40 | $83.88 | 0.83 | -5.98% |
| CIBC | CM | $111.06 | $139.92 | 0.79 | -8.77% |
| Royal Bank | RY | $107.36 | $104.95 | 1.02 | 1.28% |
| National Bank | NA | $73.55 | $75.90 | 0.97 | 10.12% |
| TD Bank | TD | $73.58 | $80.34 | 0.92 | -2.57% |
The last test on stock price test to look at is to compare the current Price/Earnings Ratio to the 10 year median P/E Ratio.
In 2022, the CIBC bank is showing as expensive as it has an EPS Ratio more than 20% above the 10 year median P/E Ratio. The other banks are still within the reasonableness range as their P/E Ratios are less than 20% above the 10 year median ratio.
| Bank 2022 | Symbol | Price | EPS Est. | Curr P/E | M/C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank of Montreal | BMO | $150.04 | $12.60 | 11.91 | 7.18% |
| Bank of Nova Scotia | BNS | $94.48 | $8.27 | 11.42 | 3.58% |
| CIBC | CM | $166.52 | $13.70 | 12.15 | 26.22% |
| Royal Bank | RY | $147.14 | $11.10 | 13.26 | 16.38% |
| National Bank | NA | $103.75 | $9.02 | 11.50 | 17.01% |
| TD Bank | TD | $107.41 | $7.88 | 13.63 | 18.84% |
In 2021, by this criterion, BMO stock price is relatively the lowest. For all the stocks but the stock prices are showing as reasonable but above the median.
| Bank 2021 | Symbol | Price | EPS Est. | Curr P/E | M/C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank of Montreal | BMO | $97.60 | $8.41 | 11.61 | 2.70% |

| National Bank | NA | $73.55 | $6.58 | 11.18 | 9.27% |
| TD Bank | TD | $73.58 | $5.76 | 12.77 | 4.97% |
