BMO Capital noted that U.S. equities usually gain after the Federal Reserve starts cutting rates. Since 1982, the S&P 500 posted positive returns in 8 of 10 cycles, averaging +10.4% over the following year. Outcomes, however, ranged from –23.9% to +32.1%, depending on whether cuts extended growth or failed to prevent recession.

Oof, ADBE got a lot of price target reductions post earnings. DB $405 from 475 Fubon 400 from 445 TD Cowen 420 from 470 BMO 405 from 450 Evercore 450 from 475 Bernstein 508 from 530 JP 520 from 540 Piper 470 from 500 A couple increases too but not many and not by much. Its still way below all these too so who knows.

BMO and Scotiabank beat earnings and ran up a lot today. If RBC does the same tomorrow Im taking it as a sign that Canadian banks are just outperforming right now and loading up on TD and CIBC calls.

BMO capital and BAC released notes on this. A Breakup of $GOOGL is not expected. Chrome will be kept within Alphabet. So most likely its going to be data sharing ruling or a injudction an apple payments - which will not have any impact on $GOOGL. Apple has no alternative on search and chrome is the best - users will just bypass safari and download chrome. Anyways, this is at 20 P/E and 16x FY26 P.E SO damn cheap! expect a re-rating to 25 P/E which should send this $250. SO many institutions loaded on $GOOGL aswell in the 180s-200s - this move isnt driven by retail. Billions are buying because it's going to WIn AI aswell due to its full stack. Check out nano-banana model. INSANE.

$BMO and $BNS? I swear they cant be doing well with Canada's current situation, and the lower Pop growth. But every earning they are like nope everything is fine.

BMO calls are tempting

Any thoughts on BMO?

ImakeBADinvestmentsx

Judge has hinted breaking up chrome might not be the best answer. So no divesture. BMO Capital has done analysis and spoken and said the same. BAC has agreed aswell as the current admin. Saying they dont want to break them up. PLus, how do you sell $GOOGL chrome to investors. If it's spun off - gets who owns it? current investors :) just under alphabet lol. no buy/sale as its out reach of govt.

I am new to options but I have a question. LOW had their earnings BMO on Wednesday. Premarket the news comes out that they have a 8.8 billion dollar buyout and beat earning. Premarket it just goes up and up. As soon as the market opens it goes down and stays flattish after that. Can anyone help me out on why the difference? Thank you.

💎 🔛 🤲: > PHOENIX - Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFM), currently valued at $14.1 billion, announced on Tuesday that its Board of Directors has authorized a new $1 billion share repurchase program, replacing its current authorization which had approximately $143 million remaining. According to InvestingPro data, management has been consistently aggressive with share buybacks, supported by the company’s robust financial health score of 2.92 out of 5. > The specialty grocery retailer said the new buyback program was approved on August 13, 2025, and will allow the company to purchase shares on a discretionary basis through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. > The program has no expiration date and may be commenced, suspended, or discontinued at any time, according to the company. Sprouts noted that its Board expects to periodically review the authorization to assess its continued appropriateness based on capital allocation priorities, market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. > “Our ongoing share repurchase program reflects our robust cash flow generation and our Board’s confidence in our strategy and the potential of our business,” said Curtis Valentine, chief financial officer of Sprouts Farmers Market. > Valentine added that the company is committed to delivering long-term value for investors by prioritizing investments for business growth while returning excess free cash flow to shareholders through the ongoing repurchase program. > Sprouts Farmers Market operates more than 450 stores across 24 states and employs approximately 35,000 people. The company specializes in fresh, natural, and organic food products. > The announcement was made in a press release statement issued by the company. > In other recent news, Sprouts Farmers Market reported impressive second-quarter 2025 results, surpassing analysts’ expectations. The company achieved an earnings per share of $1.35, beating the forecasted $1.23, and generated revenue of $2.2 billion, exceeding the anticipated $2.17 billion. UBS adjusted its price target for Sprouts Farmers Market to $180.00, citing supply chain impacts but maintaining a Neutral rating. Meanwhile, Wells Fargo upgraded the company’s stock rating from Equal Weight to Overweight, viewing recent stock pullbacks as buying opportunities. Barclays also upgraded Sprouts Farmers Market to Overweight, raising its price target to $185.00, highlighting the company’s steady growth outlook and incremental sales drivers. On the other hand, BMO Capital lowered its price target to $170.00, maintaining a Market Perform rating due to expected deceleration in comparable store sales growth. These developments reflect a mix of optimism and caution among analysts regarding Sprouts Farmers Market’s future performance.

I see that narrative a lot and it doesn't exactly give the full picture (to put it nicely.) SMCI went above and beyond standard business process to investigate any and all claims. An external board member was brought in to lead the team to honor EYs early recommendations. A team of forensic accountants from Secretariat Advisors, a few teams of some of the best attorneys in the world, and three of the biggest auditors in the world (Deloitte, EY and BMO) also reviewed the financials. The SEC also investigated. Several other US and global enforcement agencies also investigated them, Dell, and NVDA trying to track down NVDA's smuggled chips. They all immediately denied and were cleared in smuggling anything anywhere illegally. No material changes--not a single financial report was restated. No fraud found. Nothing came of the short seller claims they were doing anything with related parties, evading any export controls, etc. Turns out some smugglers were putting fake serial numbers on chips and SMCI, NVDA and Dell assisted authorities in sending a few to jail. FINALLY, the majority of these claims came from one single fired ex-employee's lawsuit that claims things like an employee performed additional job duties to deliver to customers in a year the company was 2Xing :) (separation of duties.) Another claim was that manual workarounds for an IT system weren't properly documented and they hired back employees as consultants a few years before without informing their newly hired auditor (EY) a few years later. Don't take my word for any of this. It's all in Edgar as the company has been transparent. Hope that helps give enough background for people to move on from such a tired, old, narrative.

After doing the safe thing (buying into voo, spy and so on) for a few months and finally seeing some progress, I made a mistake. Bought OPEN, lost ~20. Learned my lesson with, thankfully, a tenth of what my husband can bring home in a day. How do I maximize my recovery? What can I do to make sure this doesnt happen again? What else could I take up as someone new to managing an account for this kind of stuff? For further context, I had 300 in OPEN so it couldve gone worse. I put the reclaimed 280 into BMO.

I have a margin account that I have never used, but I have used the LOC on my rental property. But my main strategy is to skim off profits of a stock that has had a 25% increase over my average buy-in, especially if it oversized or the future outlook has cooled. I will make exceptions on some stocks that I feel I cant buy back into, like Netflix, but this could change in the future if Netflix becomes an oversized position. I keep cash in a short term BMO bond fund ZUSFF @ 4.85% , pays monthly. I usually have 5% cash, and up to 25% prior to our glorious leaders independence day announcement the day after the fools day.

Anytime a pharma "growth story" starts to slow and there's nothing compelling in the pipeline for the immediate future, you see a re-rating to a degree that most investors aren't used to. You saw it with GILD in the mid 2010's after the Hep-C drugs started to slow - went from a hot stock to cratering and then taking 10 years to get back to prior highs. Moderna has round tripped all the way back to early 2020 levels. Novo's patent on semaglutide starts to expire in 2026. Giant generic pharma co Sandoz has already talked about the GLP-1 opportunity in generics. NVO's Cagrisema didn't get the reception hoped and given the nature of it it's more expensive to produce. So foreign markets will start to have generic competition starting next year and unless there's a v2.0 drug, they're going to face more competition beyond just LLY. There's been tons of posts about this company that act like nothing's wrong and yet they fired the CEO the other week. People keep saying tariffs and that's an issue but it's not the key issue here. This is what it looks like when a pharma/biotech growth story re-rates, time and time again. NVO got overdone to the downside in the 50's/60's, but it's going to take some considerable good news for a sustained move higher. https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/eli-lilly-overtaking-novo-nordisk-diabetesobesity-market-analysts ("Eli Lilly is overtaking Novo Nordisk in the diabetes, obesity market: BMO analysts") https://www.pharmavoice.com/news/eli-lilly-novo-nordisk-compound-glp1-earnings/747046/ ("Lilly revealed in a first-quarter earnings report last week that it now has a 53% share of the GLP-1 market, overtaking Novo for the first time") https://qz.com/novo-nordisk-eli-lilly-ozempic-zepbound-weight-loss-1851782626 ('How Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk fell behind Eli Lilly in the weight loss drug race") https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/view-wegovy-maker-novo-nordisk-ousts-ceo-competition-obesity-drug-market-heats-2025-05-16/ ("Novo Nordisk CEO's surprise exit after setbacks in weight-loss market: Reaction") https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/may/07/wegovy-maker-novo-nordisk-cuts-profit-forecast (Wegovy maker Novo Nordisk cuts profit forecast as US prescriptions tail off: Slowdown will deepen concerns Denmark’s biggest company is losing market share to US rival Eli Lilly") etc etc etc. There have been posts for a few months now with people acting like the decline is 100% unjustified which is perplexing. It's a decent value in the low 60's, but people who buy it and expect it to moon tomorrow and completely rebound/re-emerge as the growth story it was a year ago are going to be disappointed.

Smart of you to think in terms of diversification, especially with macro uncertainty still in the air. If you’re already 50% into stocks/ETFs, the rest could go toward balancing out your overall exposure depending on your goals and risk tolerance. A few options to consider: **1. High-Interest Savings or GICs (Canadian equivalent to CDs):** Great for capital preservation. Not going to make you rich, but it’s stable and currently pays decent interest rates in Canada. **2. Bonds or bond ETFs:** You could look into a mix of government and corporate bonds—something like ZAG (BMO Aggregate Bond Index ETF) or XBB (iShares Core Canadian Universe Bond Index). These provide stability and income, especially if stocks get rocky. **3. REITs or real estate exposure:** Canadian REIT ETFs like ZRE or XRE give you exposure to real estate without needing to own physical property. If you’re open to the U.S. market, VNQ is a popular choice. **4. Alternative assets:** If you’re comfortable with a little more complexity, something like gold (physical or via ETFs like CGL) or even global infrastructure ETFs might be worth a look. These can behave differently than equities in downturns. **5. Cash for optionality:** If you’re really worried about a recession, holding some cash isn’t a bad move either. It gives you flexibility to buy in when/if valuations become more attractive. I’d just be careful about staying *too* defensive if your time horizon is long. Markets are forward-looking, and it’s easy to get stuck waiting for the "perfect" time to deploy capital that never comes.

per yahoo finance "The S&P 500 (^GSPC) is back within one percentage point of an all-time high. One of Wall Street's notorious bulls believes the benchmark index has plenty further to run this year. BMO Capital Markets chief investment strategist Brian Belski boosted his year-end target to 6,700 from a prior forecast of 6,100. Belski had previously reduced his forecast amid the tariff turmoil that tanked markets in April." you gotta be extra kind of special to change your targets so quickly without even seeing the impact of those tariffs.

(i) You're a Canadian (me too) but you're asking this on a sub which is mostly populated by U.S. investors. Your mileage, as they say, may vary from theirs. Check out some popular Canadian sources, like the Canadian Portfolio Manager blog, which I think is Jason Bender, or the videos from Ben Felix who works at PWL capital. Those resources are well regarded, although I don't look at them myself. (I'm old and my investments are in a pretty simple holding pattern.) (ii) Some experts recommend that Canadians have 20 or 30% home country bias, and I believe there's some data to support that. Many Canadians are internationally diversified, with allocations to Canadian, U.S., and international equities (and, if you like fixed income, a chunk of that). Canadians have an easy way to do that with the asset allocation ETFs from Vanguard or iShares or BMO-- e.g. XEQT or VGRO etc. Those are one-stop shopping, but they're not very exciting. (iii) If you're holding your investments in a taxable account, consider using the total return ETFs from Global X. They have considerable tax advantages. But at 23, I assume you're mostly using your TFSA. (iv) The bigger question is what's your investment horizon. At 23, that's usually not very long, and there's a good chance you'll need the money before you're 30. Think: tuition, living expenses, a move across country to take a new job, marriage, a car, and so on. All those things will drop on your head before you know it. The conventional wisdom is to keep your capital safe if that's the case. Consider putting a good-sized chunk of your money in safe fixed income-- GICs or a low-risk bond ETF.

which ratios? Their EPS is estimated at 13% going forward. Several analysts upped their price targets for CEG to $365 CFRA, $360 (Wolfe), $350 (UBS, BMO), $318 Citigroup. CEG just signed a  20-year power purchase agreement with META to supply nuclear energy from its Clinton Clean Energy facility in Illinois. CEG is worth watching & investing in - IMHO.

Fluid_Cat2269

How much of these institutions holding Tesla are passive institutional ownership (because of the index ETFs they offer clients) and how much is active institutional ownership (ie their investment team making active bets)? As for National Bank of Canada, despite their name, they are actually a Quebec-based regional bank, ranking outside Big 5 Canadian banks (RBC, TD, ScotiaBank, BMO, CIBC). So it’s likely their asset management division that’s holding shares.

Tuesday’s U.S. debt auction showed that foreign investors held back from buying up 2-year Treasury notes, with demand from the category at a two-year low. The U.S. Treasury Department conducted an auction of $69 billion of two-year notes Tuesday afternoon.Investors accepted 3.795% as the highest yield on the note, 0.5 basis point higher than the yield before bidding. That suggests that overall, buyers had to be enticed to buy the government's debt by offering them higher rates. What was more telling was the foreign demand. A category called indirect bidders, which includes foreign central banks and private investors, lapped up 56.2% of the supply versus an average of 73%. This was the lowest indirects in 2 years, BMO Capital Markets say.

ELV pre announced earnings (similar business to UNH) and they expect to beat earnings estimate. They did, however, expand their Medicare Advantage enrollment… although they claim that it won’t be an issue for them (that’s the reason UNH dropped was costs associated with MA). Puts are imo too risky, so long as they don’t say anything dumb the stock goes up. General Motors has earnings on 4/29 BMO, considering grabbing puts as the guidance will be heavily dependent on raw materials & 🥭. Shorting Tesla seems like a bad move in general. American Airlines (AAL) looks like a good shorting opportunity, last quarter for them was embarrassing and I don’t see how the company can turn around now. Contrarily, LUV is in a slightly better spot than AAL, but I don’t see the benefit in playing their earnings. Intel is in a unique position as a semiconductor business, but tariffs for raw materials will make it difficult for the company to issue good guidance. The Google lawsuit is likely going to be a non-issue for earnings. The big mover for the week is probably a stock I didn’t mention tbh.

The **10-year Treasury** note auction appears to have gone very well, in a **bit of relief** for the market. Vail Hartman at BMO Capital Markets says it was “very strong”: >“Before the auction, 10-year notes were under pressure with yields just off the session peak of 4.51% and rates headed into 1 p.m. EST roughly 17 basis points higher on the day.

Hey! I’m a newbie investor who just started buying ETFs after some research, only to notice there’s a market downturn happening right now 😆. I’ve invested less than $1,000 across several ETFs, and since my purchases are still queued (markets haven’t opened yet), I can still withdraw them if I want. I’m okay with taking a bit of risk with this small amount, but I’d rather not kick off my investing journey on a sour note. I was ready to pull out of everything, but then I saw some of you talking about buying more at these “discounted prices,” and now I’m second-guessing myself. I’m based in Canada, using a tax-free account if that matters, and I’d love your help figuring out which ETFs to keep and which to ditch. Here’s my list: • VFV (Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF) • ZCN (BMO S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index ETF) • XEQT (iShares Core Equity ETF Portfolio) • ZAG (BMO Aggregate Bond Index ETF) • VDY (Vanguard FTSE Canadian High Dividend Yield Index ETF) • XEI (iShares S&P/TSX Composite High Dividend Index ETF) • ZRE (BMO Equal Weight REITs Index ETF) • HDIV (Hamilton Enhanced Multi-Sector Covered Call ETF) • HMAX (Horizons Enhanced Income International Equity ETF) • CASH (likely a money market fund or cash equivalent) What do you think—should I hold onto some of these or simplify things since I’m just starting out? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've been raising cash since Dec, skimming 25% gains on winners ( usually do this as a rule) and most recently I have placed stop limit orders on almost all my stock positions so I dont lose money , and in some cases, save some gains too. I raise a lot of cash last week on stop limits, and opened positions of BLK and NFLX which declined to attractive levels. I also bought back the COSTCO stock I sold in Dec ( gains) at 15% lower to get my position back up. Didnt all work out. I had a postion in NVDA that I sold at my $110 Average position price and I have yet to get back in. Same for a large position in BMO that I SL out of. But I am confident that Orange Mussolini will F shit up again and , bam, market down 5% more. Be patient.

Best advise : NEVER invest in something you don't understand........... A good bet would be 6 month CD's from a large Canadian bank. Bank of Montreal operates in US as BMO Financial. US government will default on their debts very soon. 25% tariff and government job cuts arrive too late to rescue their cash flow.

From MarketWatch Eight of the 12 Federal Reserve districts reported flat or slightly negative growth in February, according to the central bank’s survey of regional economies known as the Beige Book, released Wednesday. Six districts reported no change in economic activity, while two saw slight contractions. The remaining four districts saw only “modest or moderate growth.” Overall, activity across the country rose “slightly,” according to the report, which comes as talk about a potential recession has picked up in recent days. “The Fed’s regional report card … suggests that the economy is slowing,” said Priscilla Thiagamoorthy, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. Tariffs were mentioned 50 times in the report, she noted, and almost all districts cited trade uncertainty.

BMO Capital Markets has lifted its 2025 estimates for core PCE -- the Fed’s preferred inflation metric -- by 0.3 percentage points to 3%. It now sees the measure ending next year 2.7%, above the 2.4% rate expected before.

No stop loss with options with BMO trading. I don’t think every broker has stop losses on options either !

I mean one was down one was up between BMO and CIBC. Maybe you are considering something I am not. I would buy calls on one/more of RBC, SNOW, and CRM today if I did anything but I have too much money tied up elsewhere

I'm pretty much at ATH still.. Green today thanks to BMO, my largest holding We really haven't seen nothing yet, I feel like some people are not prepared to see their portfolio drop 30-40% possibly.

ZEQT will give you similar exposure and the fees will go to BMO, a Canadian institution, rather than BlackRock. This is also the case with TBAL, the TD balanced ETF, plus it's based on indexes constructed by Solactive, a German company, rather than S&P.

4 of the big Canadian banks all reporting earnings over the next two days. BMO CIBC RBC BNS. This can be a pretty easy earnings play using guidance and EPS beat of two, as well as market reaction to play the others. Anyone doing it?

I just learned today that Irwin gets paid more than the CEOs of Telus, Enbridge, Canadian Natural Resources, Suncor, TD Bank, BMO, Air Canada. This is just cruel, even if I want to buy TLRY at these levels, there is NO justifiable reason to pay their ceo this much in comparison to other megacap tsx composite companies. TLRY needs to either stock split or change the exec pay compensation for me to even consider putting a dime into it.

it appears the copium for the market after todays PPI is this : “All of this suggests that core-PCE in January will be 0.3% (or even a ‘high’ 0.2%) versus what had been fears of a high 0.3% — which accounts for the modest bid in the Treasury market,” said Ian Lyngen at BMO Capital Markets.

Canada has strict foreign ownership rules in key industries, making it difficult for American businesses to operate there, while the U.S. allows Canadian companies to enter freely. Industries with Canadian Restrictions (But Allowed in the U.S.): 1. Banking – U.S. banks face strict regulations, but Canadian banks like TD and BMO operate freely in the U.S. 2. Telecommunications – Foreign ownership limits block U.S. companies like AT&T, while Canada’s telecom firms operate in the U.S. 3. Media & Broadcasting – Canada requires 80% Canadian ownership, restricting U.S. networks, while American media is open to Canadian firms. 4. Airlines & Transportation – Foreign ownership is capped at 49%, blocking U.S. airlines, while Canadian airlines can operate in the U.S. 5. Energy & Natural Resources – Canada limits foreign takeovers, but Canadian companies like Enbridge run major pipelines in the U.S. 6. Agriculture & Dairy – High tariffs and import controls block U.S. dairy, while Canadian firms like Saputo operate freely in the U.S. 7. Insurance – Canada heavily regulates foreign insurers, while Canadian firms like Manulife thrive in the U.S. 8. Retail & Grocery – Complex rules hinder U.S. retailers like Target, while Canadian stores like Circle K expand in America. 9. Shipping & Maritime – Canadian laws prevent U.S. ships from operating between Canadian ports, while Canada benefits from open U.S. waters. 10. Legal & Professional Services – Some Canadian provinces require majority Canadian ownership, while U.S. firms have no such restrictions. 11. Real Estate – Foreign ownership bans prevent U.S. buyers from purchasing homes in Canada, while Canadians can freely buy U.S. property. Bottom Line: Canada protects its industries with strict ownership laws, while the U.S. maintains an open market, allowing Canadian businesses to expand with fewer restrictions.

BMO offers a lot of ETFS with Canadian exposure. I have a balance of Canadian aggregate bonds (ZAG), Canadian REITs (I have ZRE), the S&P with TSX (I have ZCN), and then I have some defensive stocks like Enbridge and Fortis. Are you wanting just Canadian? There’s no-US international exposure as well like ZEA (replicates MSCI).

I wrongly assumed that America's top bank would not have cut dividends. Out of our 6 top Canadian banks only 2 have cut dividends at some point in the last 100. My bad. BMO has the longest running dividend record of any Canadian company. 196 years. Importantly the kind of financial collapse that sees companies like these cut dividends will also see your portfolio collapse. With zero return. But you still need to sell 4% to live off in retirement. But a reliable blue chip will keep paying you. A dividend ETF will shelter you from individual insolvency issues. Dividend payout fluctuates much less than stock prices. https://www.simplysafedividends.com/world-of-dividends/posts/1038-what-happens-to-dividends-during-recessions-and-bear-markets

JPM did cut dividends during the 08-09 banking crisis: https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/jpm/dividend-history BMO looks like it started paying in 2011, but if they had been paying dividends a few years earlier then it also would have gotten cut in 08-09

brandnewb

There are companies like TD, BMO and JPM that did not cut their dividends after 1929 or 2008. A true financial crisis/collapse will indeed see dividends get reduced. But not a .com type crash, or a COVID crash. These had little impact on my dividend returns. But during extended market underperformance dividends and bonds become the few areas of stable returns for a retiree. The question is more about at what point do you transition. Do you start with blue chip, or transition to them.

Wealthsimple or trading through your bank (like BMO Investorline) are good starting points - safe and user-friendly.

ARRNF is positioned perfectly in Wyoming. [Their Halleck Creek project has enough magnetic rare earths to meet US domestic needs for over 100 years](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/american-rare-earths-present-precious-133500818.html). They just got $7.1M from Wyoming and EXIM Bank is ready to drop $456M in construction funding. Latest drilling results are insane. [They hit 148m @ 4,451 ppm TREO with sections going over 6,000 ppm](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/american-rare-earths-reports-highest-133300811.html). Those are some of the highest grades they've ever found there. BMO Capital Markets just jumped on board too. Smart move with China's export bans. US needs domestic rare earth supply badly and ARRNF is sitting on the motherlode. Wyoming's backing them hard. This is exactly the kind of project that's gonna blow up with all the EV and tech manufacturing coming back to the US.

I did the same shit as you, traded from 16-19. Made max 3-5k. Just buy s&p and Nasdaq, it works when you work, when you sleep or when your jerking off. There’s tons of variants if you can’t afford the “real” s&p, like BMO or other banks. No need to anyways go with Vanguard or Blackrock
