Valuation Metrics

AI Summary
BNS has evolved into a higher-quality earnings story, with sustained positive operating leverage, >14% ROE and stronger Canadian/wealth franchises supporting a constructive hold/add-on-pullbacks view, but much of the rerating is priced in and upside now depends on containing credit losses and proving International Banking can grow profitably.
