The bank generated CAD20.4 billion ($14.4 billion) in net income in the year to the end of October 2025 year, with a return on equity of 16.3%. It posted record business performances across personal banking, commercial banking, capital markets and wealth management, including strong fee growth in wealth management, capital markets, and transaction banking.
