C$1,000 invested in Bank of Montreal at the November 7, 2016 adjusted close would have been worth C$4,418 at the November 5, 2026 adjusted close. This hypothetical result is before fees and tax. It uses adjusted closes, which include dividends, with no separate dividend payments added.
Over 9.99 years of available data, the adjusted close rose from C$54.71 to C$241.70. On a lump-sum, buy-and-hold basis, that works out to a total return of 341.8% and an annualized return of 16.0%.
Investor takeaway: This example shows the historical result of holding Bank of Montreal shares over this period. It doesn’t predict future returns. The figures also don’t account for your individual fees or tax situation.

C$4,418 from C$1,000
A hypothetical C$1,000 investment at the November 7, 2016 adjusted close of C$54.71 would have been worth C$4,418 at the November 5, 2026 adjusted close of C$241.70. The reported total return was 341.8% over 9.99 years of available data.
Bull case
Bank of Montreal’s adjusted-close record showed a substantial gain over the decade. It offers one example of how a buy-and-hold investment performed during that period.
Bear case
This result covers one specific period and doesn’t guarantee similar returns in the future. Share prices can fall, and your return after fees and tax may differ.
What the decade-long calculation showed
The calculation compares Bank of Montreal’s adjusted close of C$54.71 on November 7, 2016, with C$241.70 on November 5, 2026. On a hypothetical lump-sum, buy-and-hold basis, C$1,000 grew to C$4,418. That represents a total return of 341.8% and an annualized return of 16.0% over 9.99 years of available data.
The figures are before fees and tax and use adjusted closes, which include dividends. No separate dividend amount is added. For more company information, see our Bank of Montreal stock page.
A historical result, not a forecast
This calculation describes one past period. It doesn’t predict how Bank of Montreal shares will perform over the next decade or guarantee a return. The snapshot also listed a latest market capitalization of C$168.0B and a trailing P/E of 19.7. Neither figure was used to calculate the historical investment value.
