During Wednesday’s earnings call, chief executive Andrew Moor told investors Equitable had outpaced larger lenders when it came to total shareholder returns over the past decade.
Moor said EQB’s strong year-to-date performance allowed it to increase its 12-month earnings growth guidance, including diluted EPS guidance, to a range of 18 to 22 per cent from the previous guidance of 10 to 15 per cent. EQ Bank, the online-only offshoot of Equitable, also reported a 50 per cent year-over-year increase in adjusted net interest income to $251.7 million, exceeding analyst expectations. Its non-interest income of $33 million also significantly beat the street’s $26-million target, National Bank analyst Jaeme Gloyn wrote in a note to clients.Article content
