The Bank of Nova Scotia operates through various segments, including Canadian and International Banking, Global Wealth Management, and Global Banking and Markets. Recently, JPMorgan Chase & Co. reduced its stake in the bank by 4.9%, while other hedge funds have also adjusted their holdings. The bank's stock opened at $47.74, with a market cap of $59.46 billion and a dividend yield of 6.21%. Analysts currently rate the stock as a "Hold," with a consensus target price of $81.00.
Scotiabank analysts have identified Power Corporation of Canada as a compelling dividend investment, offering a 5% yield and significant growth potential. Trading at a 26% discount to its estimated net asset value, the company is expected to benefit from its subsidiary Great-West Lifeco's upcoming earnings growth targets. Recent corporate actions, including a stake sale and share buybacks, further bolster its positive outlook.
As the tax-loss selling season nears, Scotiabank is advising investors to consider switch trades due to limited options for tax losses this year. Analysts, including Hugo Ste-Marie, warn that the necessity to sell stocks to realize losses may lead to increased downward pressure on these stocks until year-end.
Bank of Nova Scotia, with 49.13% of its stock owned by institutional investors, operates across various banking segments in multiple countries. Recently upgraded to a "buy" rating by UBS Group, the bank has a current average rating of "Hold" and a price target of $69.00. In its latest earnings report, it posted $1.63 EPS, slightly above estimates, with a revenue of $8.36 billion, reflecting a 3.7% year-over-year increase.
Gildan Activewear Inc. is preparing to sell debt in Canada for the first time, with meetings scheduled for fixed-income investors. CEO Glenn Chamandy will address investors in Toronto and Montreal starting November 15, hosted by Bank of Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, and Bank of Nova Scotia.
Investors in Canadian financial stocks are optimistic following Donald Trump's return to Washington, anticipating benefits from his tax and regulatory agenda. Analysts suggest that Canada’s largest banks remain undervalued despite a 30% increase over the past year, with further growth expected due to a strengthening US economy.
A second presidential term for Donald Trump could lead to extreme protectionism, a significant population decline, and increased debt due to reckless fiscal policies, warns Derek Holt, head of capital markets economics at Scotiabank. He cautions that Trump's proposed policies could severely undermine both U.S. and global economies.
