The Bank of Montreal (BMO) has garnered a mixed but generally positive outlook from various experts in the financial sector. Most reviewers emphasize its stable dividend and strong fundamentals, particularly in a well-regulated Canadian banking environment. While some analysts express concerns regarding loan loss provisions and inflationary pressures, they acknowledge BMO's robust operations in both Canadian and U.S. markets, predicting growth and profitability in the long run. Investors are advised to hold onto their shares, with some suggesting it could be a good time to buy if they have a long-term perspective. However, others caution that the entire Canadian banking sector is fully valued, recommending a diversified approach in investments.

Consensus

Hold

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

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.

DON'T BUY

This one has been the worst performer. He is not a buyer of the banks at this time. Doesn't know if we are at the bottom or not. Not worth taking a gamble on yet.

COMMENT

In 3 years out you will make money because the valuations and returns on capital are decent at this point in time. Prefers Toronto Dominion (TD-T) and Royal (RY-T).

DON'T BUY

When you have a stock that has broken below the 200-day moving average and then starts to trend down and continues to be below the 200-day moving average, don't touch it.

TOP PICK

In technical analysis, one of the greatest observations is “selling climax”. This is where you have panic selling and then someone creating a Stop level where they feel value is.

SELL

Sell the stock here, no growth prospects ahead.

DON'T BUY

Attractive from a yield perspective, but very unattractive as a buy. Banks are still expensive. A they screen poorly, B not sure the values there. C We are going to be in a range on these bank stocks for some time.

WATCH

Believes there will still be some major hits in the financial market. Be very wary.

WATCH

Announcement from company is interesting on short term basis. They've forestalled having to take a right down immediately of 500 million. Could spring back a bit more. Would look hard at it.

DON'T BUY

Can’t trust management. Not interested. High dividend, which should remain.

SELL

(Caller has this in his RRSP.) Major disappointment. Yielding over 6%, which is a bit of a warning sign. If you own in an RRSP, she would consider diversifying into other financials such as Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) or Toronto Dominion (TD-T) which have shown abilities to weather this environment.

COMMENT

Stock has been in a downtrend for a year and it's very serious right now. From a technician's point of view, the uptrend has been broken and the Sell point was at about $63. There could be another climax approaching. There was a climax reversal in January and the financials did bounce, but unfortunately it wasn't over.

SELL

Recently sold his holdings. Had bought it because it was a low risk bank for value investors. It is not low risk. Keeps coming out with things they should not have been in. Disclosure is just being dribbled out.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) It's a Buy but be careful because there are some problems in here.

WAIT

They have to get through a few issues. Face potential write-downs of some assets. At some juncture, it's going to be a tremendous opportunity as the dividend yield is going to offer some basic support for the stock and he expects it is getting very close to that. He would prefer to wait and see what other issues there will be.
