AI Summary
BNS has shifted from a turnaround bet to a demonstrated profitability reset, led by Canadian Banking ROE of 19.4% and broad-based earnings growth, but with shares near record highs at 15â17x earnings, investors should hold or buy selectively only if credit qualityâespecially International Banking provisionsâand domestic margin momentum remain resilient.
