Bank of Montreal stock is in focus after BMO completed the sale of its Transportation Finance and Vendor Finance businesses to Stonepeak. In a BMO Financial Group newsroom release dated Thursday, October 29, the bank said the transaction had closed.
Capital impact and remaining transfers
BMO transferred approximately 75 percent, or C$11 billion, of an estimated C$14.5 billion combined loan and lease portfolio at closing. The remaining balances are expected to transfer in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, subject to customary conditions.
The transaction is expected to improve BMO's common equity Tier 1 ratio by approximately 23 basis points in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. The figure is a company outlook and remains subject to the conditions described in the release.
Minority stake preserves participation
BMO now holds a 19.9 percent interest in the Stonepeak-managed entity that acquired the businesses. The businesses will operate as Longview Capital Solutions, while a transitional-services agreement keeps BMO involved in supporting an orderly client transition.
