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

3.9% yield which is higher than the other banks. Caller is using a DRIP on this one. His model price is $78.90, a 14% positive differential.

BUY

Banks have had some pretty decent earnings growth despite the flat yield curve and margins being squeezed.

DON'T BUY

Going through a transition with a new CEO. Their retail business is not as strong as Royal Bank (RY-T) and Toronto Dominion (TD-T).

BUY

If you're looking for a cheap choice among the banks, this would probably be one because of the higher dividend.

DON'T BUY

Not one of her favourites. Has done really well with declining interest rates. Reasonable investment, but would prefer Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) or Toronto Dominion (TD-T).

BUY

This would be a value bank among the banks. Has the best yield. Hopefully new management will be more aggressive.

BUY

Banks are a relatively good place to be. Earning extremely good return on equity. Capital investment market has been fairly strong. Not as interest sensitive as they used to be. Good dividend yields.

BUY

Big believer in the banks even though they are trading at high levels. Have been increasing their payout ratios and have strong earnings in this quarter. Also feel interest rates may be lower in the next year. This is the highest yielding in the banks.

HOLD

People want dividends and companies that are increasing their dividends and the Banks fit that to a T. This one has had a terrific ride. Prefer the other four. Won't appreciate as much as the other banks.

DON'T BUY

His least favourite of the big 5 banks. They lag in growth.

TOP PICK

Right well managed and doing a good job. The highest dividend-yielding bank and he can see more dividend increases coming. Good defensive play against current market volatility.

BUY

In banks, he likes to Toronto Dominion (TD-T), Bank of Montréal (BMO-T) and feels that The Canadian Bank of Commerce (CM-T) has potential.

DON'T BUY

Talking of increasing their dividend. Made a good deal in China. They are facing headwinds now. His model price is $70 which is only a 9% differential and is falling.

DON'T BUY

4% yield which is the highest in Canadian banks. Their domestic franchise is not as powerful and doesn't make as much return on equity as others. Also, has US exposure on the Harris Bank and with a flattened yield curve, it is not good.

DON'T BUY

Have issues with its US assets. The last quarter’s earnings were good, but the quality of them was not good. Had a dramatic increase with their dividend. Has been the worst performing bank this year to date.
