Experts have mixed feelings about Bank of Montreal (BMO), though many highlight its stability and strong fundamentals. The bank is appreciated for its long-standing dividend record, and some analysts see it as a good investment for the next 3-5 years. However, concerns about the overall Canadian banking sector being fully valued and potential pressures from inflation have been mentioned. Many experts are also cautious about market conditions and suggest diversification. While some positive growth indicators exist, particularly in the U.S., the market's reaction to recent earnings has raised questions regarding the quality of the bank's loan portfolio and its valuation compared to peers.

Off a little bit, but thinks there is still growth

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.
BUY
Let them go after a 10/15% increase. In a recession, banks will be hit.
BUY
Better to buy the target bank, BMO rather than the acquirer
DON'T BUY
Getting near their 1998 highs. Prefers Royal #1 CIBC #2

Likes banks. Preferences are BNS, Royal, TD & CIBC. Lower interest rate is a plus. Would buy other banks rather than BMO

Fully valued. Expects a slight increase, but not much

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

Good dividend. Are credit quality concerns in a slowdown are already built in.

Split their stock today. Expect a bounce. A favourite, but prefers TD

Rumours of selling off Nesbitt which would be good.
