Bank of Montreal Seen Delivering ROE Expansion -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jan 12

1049 ET - Bank of Montreal can deliver return on equity expansion despite still-elevated credit-loss provisions, CIBC Capital Markets' Paul Holden says. Its that ability, which the market appears to be underestimating, alongside a cycle for capital spending in North America that favors commercial lenders and a strong investment banking franchise than underpins CIBC's outperformer call on the stock. Holden says Bank of Montreal was able to expand ROE in fiscal 2025 through levers other than provisions for credit losses. The analyst anticipates a modestly higher net interest margin, growth in net interest revenue, an improving efficiency ratio, capital deployment and U.S. balance sheet optimization will help drive the bank this fiscal year.
