The Bank of Montreal (BMO) has received a mixed but generally positive outlook from various experts. Many analysts highlight its stable dividend history and strong performance across multiple business lines, particularly in the U.S., where it is benefiting from growth despite some concerns about credit quality. While the stock has shown good earnings reports and reduced loan loss provisions, some experts caution about its premium valuation and recommend a waiting strategy until the market stabilizes. Analysts emphasize that the Canadian banking sector is a tightly regulated oligopoly with good growth prospects, even amid rising inflation pressures. Overall, there's a belief that although BMO may not be the best performer currently, its solid fundamentals make it a stock to watch for potential future gains.

Still a bit of upside in banks

Hold at least until a first merger is announced.
BUY
Moving well because investors think it will be the first to go.
TOP PICK
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

Getting near their 1998 highs. Prefers Royal #1 CIBC #2

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

Rumours of selling off Nesbitt which would be good.
