Here is how Bank of Montreal (BMO) and Banco Bradesco (BBD) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.
Bank of Montreal remains my top Canadian bank pick, delivering 42% returns since 2023, thanks to its superior risk-reward profile and successful growth strategy. National Bank of Canada has emerged as another core Canadian bank holding, with disciplined expansion, strong capital, and standout revenue growth, especially after acquiring Canadian Western Bank. Royal Bank and CIBC are on my investment radar for future opportunities, while TD and Scotiabank face strategic and regulatory headwinds limiting near-term upside.
