The growing energy crisis due to the ongoing war in Iran is driving renewed interest in alternative energy, including solar power, which should provide some support for silver this year.

Bank of Montreal (BMO) remains a buy, supported by robust segment growth, dividend strength, and a conservative balance sheet, despite a rich valuation. BMO's Q2 saw YoY revenue growth across all business lines, with wealth and capital markets as standouts, and net income up 34% YoY. EPS growth expectations are strong, with analyst consensus forecasting +20% YoY EPS growth for FY26 and upward earnings revisions outpacing downgrades.

BMO Financial has hired David Descoteaux from UBS to head its U.S. M&A team for capital markets and commercial banking, according to a memo seen by Reuters, finalizing a months-long search to fill the role as the Canadian lender combined teams.

Bank of Montreal stock currently trades at an unprecedented 17x P/E, well above its historical 10-12x range. BMO's recent outperformance is driven by expectations of U.S.-centric growth post-Bank of the West integration, but I remain skeptical of sustained high returns. I maintain a Hold rating on BMO with a fair value target of $140 CAD/share, citing valuation risks and macro sensitivity.
