Fair value updated Aug 13, 2026, revised from $190.48 to $151.80 (−20.3%) since Jul 12, 2026. Share price +0.4% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 29% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($189.75). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (61/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
Royal Bank of Canada (RY) currently trades at $215.00, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $151.80, implying the stock looks roughly 29.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Royal Bank of Canada generated revenue of $65.7B at a net margin of 33.7%. Revenue grew 16.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 16.2%. Net debt stands at $748B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $113.85 (bear case) to $189.75 (bull case); at $215.00, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 76% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -15% fair-value upside, at -29%, RY screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($140.13) versus Asset-Based ($67.06). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
