Royal Bank of Canada stock price 2026–2029: scenarios

At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (10.7 to 14.9) that is 170.03 to 236.87 a share, or 200.45 at its average P/E of 12.6. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 11.74 | 125.97 | 148.50 | 175.48 |
| FY2027 | 12.78 | 137.07 | 161.59 | 190.95 |
| FY2028 (extrapolated) | 14.23 | 152.66 | 179.97 | 212.67 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 15.85 | 170.03 | 200.45 | 236.87 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2027; the years after continue its 11.4% a year. Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of the last five fiscal year ends (10.7, 12.6, 14.9).
Is Royal Bank of Canada stock undervalued or overvalued?
Royal Bank of Canada's P/E of 18.4 is near the top of its 5-year range (10.2 to 20.1, median 13.1). Analysts do not expect faster growth than in recent years, so it is expensive compared with its own history. Buyers pay more for each point of growth than usual: a PEG of 1.5 on expected growth against 1.1 on its median P/E and past five years' growth. At its usual P/E (13.1 × EPS of 11.38), Royal Bank of Canada's fair value is 149.38; the price, 209.77, is 40.4% above it. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2027, is 16.4.
Fair value is the usual (median) P/E of the last five years times the earnings per share of the last twelve months; the ends of the bar are the same earnings at its lowest and highest P/E of those years (10.2 and 20.1). The price against its P/E range
