ROE guidance and drivers

  • Raised 2026 ROE target from 15% to 16% due to strong balance sheet growth, especially in commercial (12% growth) and mortgage (10% growth) books, robust capital markets, and effective cost/funding synergies.

  • Capital markets expected to reach upper end of CAD 1.8–2 billion PTPP range; CWB cost and funding synergies at CAD 176 million to date.

  • 2027 ROE target remains at 17%+, contingent on organic growth, Laurentian Bank integration, CWB revenue synergies, and AIRB conversion.

  • Retail banking transformation plan could provide further upside to 2027 ROE, with more details expected by year-end.

  • RWA growth is aligned with historical organic growth assumptions, supporting 5–10% earnings growth.

Business segment performance and growth

  • Mortgage growth driven by favorable fundamentals in Quebec, including lower delinquency rates and house prices.

  • Commercial loan growth remains in low double digits, with CWB integration expected to boost growth in the second half of the year.

  • Capital markets maintain a defensive, diversified position, enabling resilience amid market volatility, with oil and gas exposure at ~1% of total loans.

  • Trading results benefited from exceptional conditions last year; current defensive positioning remains a strength.

Capital management and buybacks

  • NCIB program expanded to 14.5 million shares, with 45% executed in Q1; further buybacks possible in 2027 as CET1 ratio converges to 13%.

  • Capital allocation prioritizes organic growth, sustainable dividends, and selective acquisitions; buybacks are a complement, not a primary strategy.

  • Buybacks exclude benefits from AIRB conversion planned for Q4 2026.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
