Bank of Nova Scotia reported record third-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings on August 25, with adjusted earnings per share of CAD 2.28, beating analyst expectations of roughly CAD 2.10 by CAD 0.18. Revenue came in at CAD 10.54 billion, surpassing consensus by CAD 610 million. The outperformance was driven by a record result in global wealth management and global banking and markets, with management citing broad-based earnings strength and improving returns in Canadian Banking alongside continued capital markets momentum tied to elevated market volatility.

Return on equity also surged past internal targets, according to the earnings call. The bank declared a quarterly dividend of CAD 1.14 per share. TD Cowen offered positive commentary on the results following the report.
