In the last ten years, TD's EPS has developed a variously. In 2007, 2008 and 2009 it fell from the previous year. After 2010, the EPS has returned to growth and the dividend has also begun to grow again. The dividend payout ratio is also returned to less than 50%, which gives hope for a good dividend yield also in the future.

Some ratings for RY:

My last purchase 45 shares of TD increases €44.52 (CA$63.03) of expected annual dividend net income, which increases my portfolio projected annual dividend net income to €7820.00. With purchase price CA$54.79 plus commission my starting yield on cost is 3.42%. 

I intend in the future to increase the Toronto-Dominion Bank number of shares in my portfolio.

    1. Hi

      My stock broker reserves withholding tax at the rate of 15% for Canadian stocks. I do not get it back, because it is according to the tax treaty between Finland and Canada. Finland, however, take this into account and can I reduce it in my future taxes that I pay to Finland.

      Thanks for stopping by!
      DH

  9. I have been loving the Canadian banks for a while now and finally entered into a position a couple months ago. I added TD, BNS and RY with an eye still on BMO and CM. Love the TD purchase on your end too. Thanks for sharing.
