This summary was created by AI, based on 15 opinions in the last 12 months.

The reviews on Bank of Montreal (BMO) present a mix of optimism and caution. Experts highlight that BMO is benefiting from improving fundamentals, stable dividends, and a well-regulated Canadian banking sector. Several analysts commend the bank's diversified business lines and suggest it is technically sound, with good earnings and asset growth in wealth management. However, concerns about rising inflation, loan loss provisions, and premium valuations create hesitance, urging investors to exercise caution and consider diversifying into other financial sectors. While some experts advocate for holding or adding to positions, others recommend profit-taking and shifting into more defensive stocks given the current economic fragility.

COMMENT

Canadian banks are currently trading at PE’s that are about 20% to 25% less than what they where 18 months ago. Yields have gone up generally from about 3% to about 4%. Can't get hurt too badly at these prices and yields. This is probably the weakest Canadian bank. The Harris Bank asset in Chicago is not helping them. Can't see a growth platform going forward.

DON'T BUY

5.25% yield. In the 3rd week of January, the market bottomed and then rallied in the first 10 days. In the first 2 weeks after, when the market was retesting lows, financials turned tail and headed straight south again.

COMMENT

21.5% upside on his model price.

BUY

Has gone down with the sector. Not his favourite, but it is a Canadian bank that makes a lot of money. Valuation of 8X earnings is pretty compelling. Trades about 2X Book. Canadian banks will increase their dividends and will continue to make money.

BUY

Economic environment for banks is very good in Canada now. Low interest rates help them. Dividend yields are terrific when compared to a 10-year Canada bond. Prefers Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T).

TOP PICK

Likes the financial sector. This is a bank stock that has really come off in price. Probably doesn't have any major issues but does have the potential of being one of the great takeover candidates if bank mergers are ever allowed. Yield of almost 5%.

BUY

Basically believes that the banking system will muddle through this problem. A basket of these financials with the yields they’re offering can be a very effective way to invest. Buy in measured proportions.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) In the near-term, it's not going to go anywhere for you but in the long term he would be a Buyer.

DON'T BUY

See comments under Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T).

SELL

(Market Call Minute.) Not sure what they may have in their back pocket.

DON'T BUY

In the long run, you need exposure in Canadian banks. This one has been the poor stepchild in the banking group. Have had exposure to all the bad things in the market and less exposure to the good things. Would prefer Toronto Dominion (TD-T) to any of the banks right now.

COMMENT

Getting interesting at these levels. Trading at 10X next year's earnings.

SELL

(Market Call Minute) Banks are weak. The entire financial services is weak, Market is in a correction.

HOLD

(Involved with bank) Has proved to be a good thing to buy banks with such high dividends compared to the 10 year government of Canada. The banks have done nothing this year.

COMMENT

Selling at just over 2X book that looks like a relatively good Buy, but they have had problems with a few write-offs. The real problem has always been where is the growth in their business model going to come from. ROE of 16% is low compared to other banks.
