What the Analysts think about BNS

Analyst projections of the future price of Bank Of Nova Scotia stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Scotiabank delivered a record third quarter, with adjusted earnings per share up 21% year on year and adjusted return on equity at 14.2%, above its 14% medium-term target. The result suggests the turnaround is translating into stronger shareholder profitability sooner than planned. (Scotiabank)
Canadian Banking is showing better operating momentum: margins expanded for the fifth consecutive quarter, fee income was strong, and the division produced its fourth consecutive quarter of positive operating leverage. Its return on equity reached 19.4%, giving the group a stronger domestic earnings base. (Scotiabank)
The bank is building faster-growing fee businesses alongside lending. Global Wealth Management earnings rose 23% with assets under management up 16%, while Global Banking and Markets earnings increased 37%, helping diversify the earnings mix and support higher returns. (Scotiabank)
Credit costs remain high despite sequential improvement. Third-quarter provisions rose to C$1.079 billion from C$1.041 billion a year earlier, while gross impaired loans increased to 100 basis points and the bank continues to monitor elevated mortgage delinquencies. (Scotiabank)
International Banking still carries materially higher credit risk than the Canadian business. Its provision ratio was 138 basis points, and Scotiabank took a further C$57 million provision against a Brazilian corporate account while also reporting higher mortgage impairment in Chile. (The Motley Fool)
Some of the strongest quarterly growth may be difficult to repeat. Global Banking and Markets benefited from record underwriting and advisory fees, leaving earnings exposed to weaker deal activity or less supportive market conditions in future quarters. (Scotiabank)
