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.

Valuation

BUY

4% yield. Besides racing their dividend at the last annual meeting, they also increased the payout ratio from 35% to 40% to 55% which makes them the highest paying amongst the Canadian banks.

WEAK BUY

Not his favourite bank stock. Earnings were superficially pretty good although they were boosted by a lower than expected income tax rate. Lifted their dividend payout ratio by 10%.

HOLD

Bank's trading at 14 X are expensive while those trading at 12 X are cheap and it looks like banks are heading back down towards that level.

BUY

Looks very good to him here. The model price is $72.94. A 17% differential. Sees values in the banks. Feels the banks are correcting here because the US banks have corrected.

DON'T BUY

Banks are trading down because of interest rates. There has been a big move in the long end of the bond market. She prefers Toronto Dominion (TD-T) and Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) which have reasonably good value but wouldn't chase them.

DON'T BUY

A good bank and trades in the multiples with the rest of the banks. Prefers TD and Royal better.

DON'T BUY

Their last quarter beat the streets estimates. However, looking into the numbers, they were weak numbers because most of a bump came from trading revenue. You never own a bank because of their trading revenue because it is volatile. Their commercial lending business has suffered with lower margins. Expected to under perform relative to the other banks.

BUY

His model price is $73.90. A positive 12.5% differential. 3% dividend.

HOLD

Believes that Bank of Montreal could be taken over. She prefers other banks eg. TD or Bank of Nova Scotia. Banks are very liquid. Hold if you own.

BUY

Owns and likes it. It's a slower grower, not involved in risky areas. Views it as a take over target down the road.

BUY

Factor in whether or not the government will allow takeovers. Prime target. Considerable amount of support for all the banks. They have all broken out. Not a bear market. Banks are something to own.

DON'T BUY

Thinks the Canadian banks are fairly priced at these levels. There is more upside, but they certainly are not cheap.

WEAK BUY

Not one of her favourites. Prefers Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) and Toronto Dominion (TD-T). Its latest earnings were quite good and surprised the street on the upside. Has lagged in having a coherent expansion strategy.

DON'T BUY

Thinks you will only see low $60's in a year. Less of a growth profile than in other banks.

BUY

Likes the banks. They all have very high returns on equity.
