“BMO Capital Markets’ ranking by volume improved from the third position to the top position. Meanwhile, its ranking in terms of value jumped from 18th position to the top position. It is also noteworthy that the company registered more than a six-fold jump in the total value of deals advised by it in H1 2025.”
