Read MoreHide Full Article
Shares of Royal Bank of Canada (RY - Free Report) gained 2.4% since the release of its third-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended July 31) results. Adjusted net income of C$4.73 billion ($3.45 billion) grew 18% from the prior-year quarter.
Results reflected the impacts of the specified item relating to the HSBC Canada deal and integration costs, and the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. RY’s quarterly results were aided by higher revenues, and growth in loans and deposit balances. However, an increase in expenses and provisions were headwinds.

The Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 13%, down from 14.1% in the prior-year quarter.
Our View for RY Stock
Solid loan balances, high rates and a diversified product mix will likely keep driving Royal Bank of Canada’s financials. However, higher provisions on the tough economic outlook remain a near-term concern.
Royal Bank Of Canada Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Bank of Montreal’s (BMO - Free Report) third-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended July 31) adjusted earnings per share of C$2.64 declined 10.2% year over year.
A significant jump in provision for credit losses and lower NII primarily hurt BMO’s results. However, an increase in non-interest income, higher loans and deposit balances, and lower expenses acted as tailwinds.
Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD - Free Report) reported a third-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended July 31) net loss (GAAP basis) of C$181 million ($132.2 million) against net income of $2.88 billion in the prior-year quarter.
The loss resulted from provisions for the penalties related to investigations concerning its anti-money laundering practices by the U.S. regulators.
Huge increases in provision for credit losses and expenses acted as undermining factors for TD. Nevertheless, growth in NII and non-interest income, and higher loan balance lent much-needed support to TD’s quarterly performance.
