Canadian Banks Brace for Potential Housing Bubble
The Paragon Report Provides Equity Research on Toronto-Dominion & Royal Bank of Canada
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/20/12 -- Shares of Canadian banks took a hit earlier this month after Barclays Capital lowered its rating on the Canadian financial services sector, saying domestic and global headwinds are likely to slow earnings growth in 2012. The Paragon Report examines the outlook for companies in Canada's Banking Sector and provides stock research on Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE: TD) (TSX: TD) and Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE: RY) (TSX: RY).

Barclays analyst John Aiken warns that "steam is dissipating from Canada's economic engine" as both domestic and global headwinds will likely weigh on valuations. "We do not believe that the Canadian financials can buck the anticipated easing of domestic growth. Deleveraging of Canadian households is a theme that we believe will weigh on the group for several years to come," argues Aiken.
A recent report from Bloomberg warns of an impending housing bubble in Canada as banks compete to offer mortgages at rates as low as 2.99 percent as their funding costs drop on investor demand for the relative safety of Canadian bonds amid Europe's fiscal crisis.

The Bank of Canada estimated the loss to economic output this year at 0.6 per cent, or about $10 billion. The bank estimates that Canada's economy would be worth about $10 billion more at the end of the year, with the subsequent beneficial impact on everything from more jobs, higher incomes and corporate profits and better government fiscal positions.
