The Bank of Montreal (BMO) has garnered mixed feedback from financial experts, reflecting a complex picture of its current performance and future outlook. Reviews praise its strong dividend history, diversified geographical presence, and stable asset growth, particularly in wealth management. Despite a favorable outlook for the Canadian banking sector characterized by a tightly regulated oligopoly, concerns about loan losses, especially in the U.S. market, linger. Some analysts are cautious, suggesting that while BMO may be a solid long-term hold, current market conditions warrant a more defensive investment strategy. Additionally, there's a sentiment of cautious optimism towards the potential for growth, but also a call for diversification amid current valuations deemed as premium rather than undervalued or a bargain.

BUY

Banks have dropped because of loan losses re: bankruptcies. Banks are still a good core holding for portfolios. RBC is first choice.

Likes the banks. BNS is #1 and the cheapest. Royal is the most expensive, but worth it because of their leadership.

Banks have outperformed so strongly they are over owned. Valuations are high.

BUY

Banks are well positioned over the next two years. Rising interest rates will not affect banks like they did historically. Relatively cheap. Prefers BNS, Royal and TD.

DON'T BUY

Canadian banks are not acting well. Royal Bank is the exception.

Not a fan of banks. Expects continuing high loan loss provisions.

DON'T BUY

Increase in interest rates will put a squeeze on the banks. They are overvalued now.

DON'T BUY

In the banks prefers TD (#1), RBC and BNS.
