Royal Bank of Canada has a long history of paying uninterrupted dividends, including during the financial crisis. RBC's Canadian retail banking unit is the base off which it earns a strong return on equity. Credit quality has been weakening, but RBC has multiple lines of defense to deal with higher credit costs.
RY posts a 6.9% y/y rise in Q2 earnings as revenues climb, but higher expenses and credit provisions weigh on the results.
