Scotiabank's strong balance sheet, diversified assets, and high capital ratios provide resilience and support long-term dividend sustainability. Prudent loan portfolio management, especially the fixed/variable mortgage split, positions BNS well for both current and future interest rate environments. Valuation remains attractive, with the stock trading below historical P/B averages and offering a solid 5.8% dividend yield with upside potential.
