Scotiabank, meanwhile, reported an earnings miss, with profit slipping to around $2.2 billion for the quarter from $2.3 billion a year ago. Adjusted earnings per share were $1.75.
BMO said earnings from its Canadian personal and commercial banking unit rose by $1 million for the quarter, to $647 million, while its U.S. P&C business saw net income rise 43 per cent to $444 million. The lender was buoyed by the corporate-tax cut in the U.S., while it grappled with higher costs in Canada.
In Canada, Scotiabank has been busy trying to digest purchases it made last year, particularly its $2.6-billion acquisition of MD Financial Management. Scotiabank said Tuesday that it had retained 98 per cent of the physician-focused firm’s clients, with “minimal” advisor attrition, 1,600 cross-referrals and 775 new doctor banking customers since the deal closed.
