Below are the data sources, inputs and calculation used to determine the intrinsic value for Bank of Montreal.
| Data Point | Source | Value |

Weighted future Return on Equity estimates from 9 analysts.

| Book Value of Equity per Share | Weighted future Book Value estimates from 4 analysts. | CA$72.82 |
| Discount Rate (Cost of Equity) | See below | 10.1% |
| Perpetual Growth Rate | 10-Year CA Government Bond Rate | 1.9% |
An important part of a discounted cash flow is the discount rate, below we explain how it has been calculated.

| Equity Risk Premium | S&P Global | 8.1% |
| Banks Unlevered Beta | Simply Wall St/ S&P Global | 0.44 |
| Re-levered Beta | = Unlevered beta (1 + (1- tax rate) (Debt/Equity))
= 0.436 (1 + (1- 26.5%) (248.53%)) |
1.018 |
| Levered Beta | Levered Beta limited to 0.8 to 2.0 (practical range for a stable firm) |

Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for TSX:BMO using Excess Returns Model Model
The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Bank of Montreal is arrived at using the Excess Return Model. This approach is used for finance firms where free cash flow is difficult to estimate.
In the Excess Return Model the value of a firm can be written as the sum of capital invested currently in the firm and the present value of excess returns that the firm expects to make in the future.
The model is sensitive to the Return on Equity of the company versus the Cost of Equity, how these are calculated is detailed below the main calculation.
Note the calculations below are per share.
See our documentation to learn about this calculation.
| Calculation | Result | |
|---|---|---|
| Excess Returns |
= (Stable Return on equity – Cost of equity) (Book Value of
Equity per share)
= (13.9% – 10.14%) * CA$72.82) |
CA$2.71 |
| Terminal Value of Excess Returns |
= Excess Returns / (Cost of Equity -
Expected Growth Rate)
= CA$2.71 / (10.14% - 1.95%) |
CA$33.03 |
| Value of Equity |
= Book Value per share + Terminal Value of
Excess Returns
= CA$72.82 + CA$33.03 |
CA$105.85 |
| Calculation | Result | |
|---|---|---|
| Value per share (CAD) | From above. | CA$105.85 |
| Current discount | Discount to share price of
CA$98.47
= -1 x (CA$98.47 - CA$105.85) / CA$105.85 |

This company is a bank or financial institution.Fundamentally a bank's business is based upon borrowing and lending money, for this reason they typically have high levels of debt and we analyse them differently.
Balance sheet
Assets
Liabilities and shares
Historical Debt
Nearly all companies have debt. Debt in itself isn’t
bad,
however if the debt is too high, or the company can’t afford to pay the interest
on its debts this may have impacts in the future.The graphic below shows equity (available funds) and debt, we ideally want to see the red area (debt) decreasing.
If there is any debt we look at the companies capability to repay it, and whether the level has increased over the past 5 years.
