Is Bank of Montreal stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Bank of Montreal stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Bank of Montreal's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Bank of Montreal's P/E ratio

Bank of Montreal's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, Bank of Montreal shares trade at around 14x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Bank of Montreal's PEG ratio

Bank of Montreal's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.7068. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Bank of Montreal's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Bank of Montreal share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 49.81% of net profits

Recently Bank of Montreal has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bank of Montreal shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bank of Montreal's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.

While Bank of Montreal's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Bank of Montreal may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Bank of Montreal's most recent dividend payout was on 25 February 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Bank of Montreal's shares ever split?

Bank of Montreal's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 14 March 2001 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Bank of Montreal shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Bank of Montreal shares which in turn could have impacted Bank of Montreal's share price.

Bank of Montreal share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Bank of Montreal's shares have ranged in value from as little as $76.0576 up to $104.63. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Bank of Montreal's is 1.16. This would suggest that Bank of Montreal's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
