How could the guilty plea affect TD stock in the near term?

The plea keeps regulatory risk in focus, which can pressure sentiment and increase short-term volatility. With RSI at 81.98 and price near the upper Bollinger Band, we would expect consolidation. Any new enforcement actions or higher AML costs could weigh on the shares until TD shows clear remediation progress.

Is TD’s dividend at risk due to the money laundering case?

The dividend yield is 3.16% with about a 37% payout ratio. Based on available data, the payout appears manageable if earnings remain stable. The main risk is higher AML spending or restrictions that hurt profitability. We will reassess after management updates on compliance costs and regulator feedback.

What indicators should I monitor to gauge AML impact on TD?

Watch disclosures on AML budgets, staffing, and technology upgrades. Track non-interest expense trends, U.S. Retail growth, and provisions. Also monitor any DOJ or regulator announcements. Price reactions around these updates, plus technical levels like the 50-day average, can help gauge how the market is pricing risk into TD stock.

Is TD stock expensive at current levels?

At 10.95 times earnings and 1.75 times book, valuation looks moderate versus large peers historically. The issue is not price alone but risk. With momentum overbought, pullbacks to the middle Bollinger Band or 50-day average could offer better entries if legal headlines persist and AML compliance costs rise.
