Royal Bank of Canada handily beat analyst expectations as it reported record fourth-quarter results that showed rising profits across most divisions.<\/p>\n
Canada\u2019s most valuable bank, and company, reported a profit of $5.43 billion in the quarter ending Oct. 31, up from a profit of $4.22 billion a year ago.<\/p>\n
Profits for the year totalled $20.4 billion, up 25% from last year, as it saw growth across most of the bank and benefited from its takeover of HSBC Canada.<\/p>\n
The results helped lead RBC to increase its quarterly dividend to $1.64 per share, up from $1.54 per share.<\/p>\n
The bank sees continued strength ahead, raising its return-on-equity target to more than 17%, up from more than 16%, which itself was already ahead of other banks.<\/p>\n
RBC\u2019s results and outlook come despite continued trade and economic uncertainty, but chief executive Dave McKay expressed cautious optimism on the wider picture.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the operating environment remains fluid and complex, and there is a lot of hard work yet to be done by governments and the private sector, I am cautiously optimistic on the outlook for Canada,\u201d he said on an earnings call with analysts Wednesday.<\/p>\n
