Royal Bank of Canada RBC Capital Markets Canadian Bank CEO Conference summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Conference overview
The 2026 RBC Canadian Bank CEO Conference featured fireside chats with a focus on bank-specific performance and strategy, emphasizing audience Q&A for deeper insights.
The Canadian economy showed resilience in 2025, with stable credit losses and constructive capital markets, despite low loan growth and ongoing tariff adjustments.
Canadian banks' valuations have risen, with forward P/E ratios now at 14x and trading at a premium to historical averages, raising expectations for returns and capital deployment.
Discussions centered on ROE improvement, capital management, and the importance of identifying banks with the highest returns and lowest risk.
Macroeconomic and industry outlook
Foreign investor sentiment toward Canada has shifted to a risk-on approach, driven by infrastructure and defense spending plans totaling over CAD 200 billion.
The Canadian consumer remains resilient, redirecting disposable income from housing to consumption, supporting job growth and stabilizing unemployment.
Commercial banking and capital markets activity have been strong, with high deposit and lending growth, and robust advisory and trading results offsetting mortgage sector weakness.
The U.S. and European markets also showed resilience, with strong consumer activity and revived capital markets, creating opportunities for long-term investment.
Return on equity (ROE) and capital strategy
The target CET1 capital ratio is set between 12.5% and 13.5%, with excess capital above 13.5% allocated to share buybacks.
The bank aims for a 17%+ ROE, balancing growth and capital efficiency, and leveraging strong organic capital generation for strategic flexibility.
ROE improvement is driven by NII growth, other income, and efficiency gains, including significant contributions from AI and digital transformation.
U.S. operations, especially City National and HSBC integration, are expected to enhance ROE as remediation and revenue targets are met.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
