Analyst Mario Mendonca of TD Cowen maintained a Hold rating on Bank Of Montreal (BMO – Research Report), with a price target of C$152.00.
Mario Mendonca has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing the Bank of Montreal’s current market position. The bank’s recent financial performance shows a mixed picture, with some areas of strength but also notable challenges. While earnings have been relatively stable, the growth in loan portfolios has not met expectations, indicating potential headwinds in expanding their credit offerings.
Additionally, the economic environment presents uncertainties that could impact the bank’s future performance. These include potential regulatory changes and market volatility, which could affect the bank’s profitability. Given these considerations, Mendonca believes that the stock is fairly valued at its current price, leading to a Hold recommendation as investors await clearer signals of future growth or improvement.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 10 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of BMO in relation to earlier this year.
