What matters now
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.
- Our model range runs from $121.23 (bear) to $202.05 (bull), base $161.64. The closer the price sits to the lower half, the larger the margin of safety.
- Quality 62/100 (solid quality) with high evidence: the data supports the verdict.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $66.61 – $183.65 · fair‑value band $121.23 – $202.05 · the $180.82 price screens above the $161.64 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 16, 2026.
Analysis
Bank of Montreal (BMO) currently trades at $180.82, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $161.64, implying the stock looks roughly 10.6% overvalued today. We read business quality at 62/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Bank of Montreal generated revenue of $34.7B at a net margin of 28.1%. Revenue grew 15.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.4%. Net debt stands at $345B. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $121.23 (bear case) to $202.05 (bull case); at $180.82, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 80% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 16% fair-value upside, at -11%, BMO screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($269.38) versus Asset-Based ($84.23). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
