MONTREAL — National Bank of Canada has delivered a stronger-than-expected quarterly performance, providing another positive signal for Canada’s financial sector despite continuing economic uncertainty.

The bank reported adjusted net income of C$1.36 billion, or C$3.39 per share, for its third quarter, beating analysts’ expectation of C$3.22 per share. Strong results from capital markets and wealth management were key drivers of the performance.

National Bank’s capital-markets net income jumped 32% to C$442 million, while wealth-management profit increased 21% to C$296 million. Personal and commercial banking also recorded a 14% increase in earnings to C$370 million.

The results arrive as Canadian banks navigate U.S. tariffs, trade uncertainty and changing economic conditions. National Bank CEO Laurent Ferreira said the Canadian economy continues to show resilience and that new opportunities are emerging despite the difficult environment.

The broader Canadian banking sector has recently posted strong quarterly results, although investors remain alert to potential credit and economic risks.

National Bank’s latest results suggest that diversified revenue streams and strong capital-markets activity are helping major Canadian lenders withstand the current period of economic uncertainty.
