This summary was created by AI, based on 16 opinions in the last 12 months.

The Bank of Montreal (BMO) has been reviewed positively by several experts, highlighting its stability and strong performance within the Canadian banking sector. While many respect its sound credit portfolio and consistent dividends, some experts note potential headwinds like inflation and a fragile economic landscape that might affect future growth. The bank maintains a favorable position but is seen as trading at a premium, suggesting caution for new investments. Overall, the consensus indicates that while BMO remains a solid choice for stability and dividend growth, there are indications of the stock being at a high valuation level. Diversifying into more defensive sectors may be advisable given the current market conditions.

Consensus

Cautious

Valuation

Overvalued

Similar

HOLD

On a yield basis, banks are looking very attractive. Market is signalling some concern about the yields with the downturn. Still have problems with their trading operations and their US operations.

COMMENT

Re: Bank of Montreal (BMO-T) and CIBC (CM-T). Doesn’t think the banks are going anywhere for the next 3 months. You could Buy them here although they have a ways before they really turn. In the meantime you will get a dividend.

BUY

This is a bank that is trying to change and get out of the credit issues. Trades at 8.1X earnings and 1.6X book so it is trading at very low valuation. If you own, consider adding to your position at this price.

COMMENT

Hard to zero in on the best time to Buy especially on closely watched groups like the Canadian banks. You can gradually Buy or hold your breath and aggressively Buy knowing you are not going to get the bottom.

DON'T BUY

Canadian banks have the best balance sheets on a global basis. Margins are not going to be as great over the next few years as they’ve been in the last 10, but they will be a decent investment. However, this one is not one of her favourites. Prefers Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T).

DON'T BUY

Has become a speculative security and they’re not the type of management that can handle that well. Dividend is safe.

BUY

Likes the overall Canadian financial sector. Canadian banks have higher ROE’s than most of their global peers.

COMMENT

If your time horizon is 5 years, there is not a problem with holding this bank or any of the Canadian banks. Almost 6% yield.

COMMENT

Had some issues over the last year or so and was one of the poorer performing banks. Would prefer Toronto Dominion (TD-T) or Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T). However on a 5-year time frame Canadian banks are going to be fine but will not provide the kind of returns as in the past.

SELL

Pretty much the most risky bank in Canada. Have exposure in the US through the Harris Bank and there will be headwinds in the US. Growth is also going to slow down in Canada.

DON'T BUY

His least favourite bank. Doesn't like the direction they are going. Had some problems but had a decent rebound.

HOLD

Have experienced a view issues in terms of some of their trading operations as well as with the asset backed paper. Thanks a lot of these banks have been tremendously oversold. You'll probably see higher highs over time.

BUY

No one bank seems to do really well over the long term or really badly over the long-term. Right now, this bank has gotten completely hammered. Likes this one at this price. 2nd-highest yielding bank after the National (NA-T). 5.7% yield.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Think they have written down their balance sheet correctly and is worth looking at.

BUY

Has been hit hard, not just by the problems in the credit market, but also by other problems that have happened on their trading side and other areas. Also, their US franchise is subject to some of the slowdown. Selling at a severe discount to the other banks at about 1.6X BV. If you are a long-term investor, you might want to step in at this point.
