Bank Of Nova Scotia Ticks Higher On Q3 Earnings Beat

Bank of Nova Scotia BNS reported third-quarter earnings of $1.42 per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.34 by 6.64%. This is a 5.07% increase over earnings of $1.36 per share from the same period last year.

"Meaningful progress was made this quarter to reposition the Bank and simplify the operations,” said CEO Brian Porter. “As a result, we are better positioned for growth in our key markets. We formalized agreements to reduce our investment in Thailand and announced the divestiture of our operations in Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. The repositioning of our international footprint is now substantially complete."
