Figma Shares Indicated To Open $105/$110
Investing.com -- Toronto Dominion Bank (TSX:TD) reported second-quarter earnings and revenue that surpassed analyst expectations, sending shares up 1% in U.S. premarket trading.
The Canadian banking giant posted adjusted earnings per share of C$1.97, beating the analyst consensus of C$1.83. Revenue came in at C$15.1 billion, well above estimates of C$13.61 billion. Compared to the same quarter last year, adjusted earnings declined 3.4% from C$2.04 per share, while revenue increased significantly.
TD’s strong performance was driven by robust trading and fee income in its markets-driven businesses, as well as deposit and loan growth in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking. The bank also benefited from fees related to the sale of its remaining stake in Charles Schwab Corp (NYSE:SCHW).
"TD delivered strong results this quarter, with robust trading and fee income in our markets-driven businesses as well as deposit and loan growth in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking," said Raymond (NSE:RYMD) Chun, Group President and CEO of TD Bank Group.
The Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking segment saw revenue increase 3% YoY, primarily due to loan and deposit growth. However, net income in this division decreased 4% to C$1.67 billion, reflecting higher provisions for credit losses and non-interest expenses.
TD’s U.S. Retail Bank faced challenges, with adjusted net income declining 23% in U.S. dollar terms to $680 million. This was attributed to higher governance and control investments, including costs for U.S. BSA/AML remediation, and higher provisions for credit losses.
The bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio stood at a robust 14.9%, indicating strong capitalization.
Despite macroeconomic uncertainties, TD remains focused on strengthening its position and meeting client needs. The modest 1% stock price increase suggests investors are cautiously optimistic about the bank’s performance and outlook.
