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.

Still a bit of upside in banks

HOLD

Hold at least until a first merger is announced.

BUY

Moving well because investors think it will be the first to go.

All banks are well run/profitable Multiples 10, 12, 15 X earnings. BMO the most likely to be taken over.

Let them go after a 10/15% increase. In a recession, banks will be hit.

Better to buy the target bank, BMO rather than the acquirer

Banks are near their top. Don't expect a jump in the event of mergers.

Rumours of selling off Nesbitt which would be good.
