- C$2.28 a share in adjusted fiscal third-quarter earnings put Scotiabank ahead of the C$2.10 average analyst estimate in a Bloomberg survey.
- Strong results in the bank's capital-markets unit drove the beat, with elevated market volatility continuing to support trading and related activity.
- International operations also outperformed expectations, and the Toronto-based lender said strength extended across the rest of its businesses.
- The results suggest Scotiabank is drawing support from diversified revenue streams even as volatile markets remain a key earnings tailwind.
