Toronto Dominion Bank (TSX:TD) Q3 FY21 earnings
TD posted a 58 per cent year-over-year (YoY) increase in its profit for Q3 FY21, amounting to C$ 3.5 billion.
This surge in TD’s net income was motored by a notable improvement in its provisions for credit losses (PCL), which bettered from that of C$ 377 million in Q3 FY20 to C$ 37 million in the latest quarter.
Its revenue, on the other hand, totaled at C$ 10.7 billion for the third fiscal quarter, soaring from that of C$ 10.2 billion in the same quarter last year.
The lender noted an adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) of C$ 1.96 in Q3 FY21, as against that of C$ 1.25 in Q3 FY20, surpassing average analysts’ expectations of C$ 1.92.
Like other top banks in the country, the Toronto Dominion also refrained from increasing its dividends for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, leaving it unchanged at C$ 0.79. It currently has a dividend yield of 3.685 per cent.
