Adjusted Revenues & Expenses Rise
Adjusted revenues were C$13.77 billion ($10.2 billion), increasing 5.3% on a year-over-year basis.

In the reported quarter, Toronto-Dominion recorded a provision for credit losses of C$1 billion ($740.2 million), up 45.1% from the year-ago quarter.
Balance Sheet Robust
Total assets were C$1.91 trillion ($1.42 trillion) as of Jan 31, 2024, down 2.3% from the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.
Net loans rose 1% on a sequential basis to C$904.3 billion ($674.1 billion), and deposits declined 1.4% sequentially to C$1.18 trillion ($0.88 trillion).
Capital & Profitability Ratios Weaken
As of Jan 31, 2024, the common equity Tier I capital ratio was 13.9%, down from 15.5% as of Jan 31, 2023. The total capital ratio was 17.6% compared with the prior-year quarter's 19.9%.
Toronto-Dominion’s return on common equity (on an adjusted basis) was 14.1%, down from 16.1% a year ago.
Our Take
Supported by a diverse geographical presence, Toronto-Dominion’s efforts toward improving revenues and market share, both organically and inorganically, seem impressive. Also, high interest rates will support the company’s financials.

Performance of Other Canadian Banks
Bank of Montreal (BMO - Free Report) released its first-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended Jan 31) results. Adjusted earnings per share of C$2.56 declined 16.3% year over year.
A significant rise in provision for credit losses, along with higher adjusted expenses, primarily hurt the results of BMO. However, increases in NII and non-interest income were tailwinds.
Royal Bank of Canada’s (RY - Free Report) first-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended Jan 31) adjusted net income of C$4.06 billion ($3.01 billion) decreased 5% from the prior-year quarter.
RY’s results were adversely impacted by higher expenses and provisions. However, a rise in revenues and solid capital ratios acted as tailwinds.
Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
