NEUTRAL IMPACT
Royal Bank of Canada reported a positive earnings surprise but faced a significant revenue drop compared to last year.
While RY beat EPS estimates, which could be seen as a positive signal, the significant drop in revenue YOY introduces uncertainty about the bank's growth trajectory. Historically, beating EPS estimates has led to a positive short-term stock price movement for RY, as seen last quarter. However, the revenue drop could temper investor enthusiasm, leading to a neutral short-term impact.
