    April 12, 2026, 1:48 AM EDT. Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO) has surged 64% in the past year. Despite this strong run, valuation metrics suggest it may still be undervalued.

This model assesses value creation above shareholder-required returns by examining the bank's equity use and profitability. BMO's price-to-earnings ratio and other figures currently earn a valuation score of 2 out of 6 by Simply Wall St, raising some questions. Investors are weighing BMO's role as a stable dividend payer among Canada's major banks.
