Analysis

Story stock

Bank of Montreal is a story stock: the narrative is ambitious and the price reflects it, but the underlying numbers are weak.

The price is fair. You pay 16.0× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 3% yearly growth; analysts expect 15%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 20/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

What to watch: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
