With the recent slide in TD’s (TSE:TD) stock, we examine whether this is a buying opportunity compared to the other of Canada’s Big 5 Banks
SmallCapPower | April 10, 2017: TD Bank Group (TSX: TD) has fallen just under 10% on news that the Company uses aggressive sales tactics and pressured employees to meet sales targets. We know that a correction in the market value of a stock improves its valuation metrics and increases the dividend yield, but has TD fallen enough to be considered the best value among Canada’s Big 5 Banks? Today, we compare revenue growth and the forward Price to Earnings Per Share (P/EPS) metric to find the best bang-for-buck among the Canadian financial services industry. The P/EPS is a valuation multiple used to measure how much the share costs per dollar of earnings. Additionally, revenue growth is a good judgement of a company’s ability to grow or sustain dividends, as well as potential capital gains. It appears that TD may not necessarily be the best pick of the bunch.
