Three milestones shape the picture
On February 24, 2026, Bank of Nova Scotia reported first-quarter adjusted earnings per share of CAD 1.74, up from CAD 0.82 in the same period of 2025, according to Simply Wall St. On May 27, 2026, second-quarter earnings per share reached CAD 2.01 from CAD 1.48 a year earlier, while net income rose to CAD 2.47 billion from CAD 1.84 billion.
On October 6, 2026, the dividend went ex-date at CAD 1.14 per share, with payment scheduled for October 28, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. The sequence points to a bank combining higher recent earnings with a continuing shareholder distribution.
What does CAD 1.14 mean for income
The dividend is the immediate income marker, but the earnings trend supplies the comparison. Third-quarter adjusted earnings per share reached CAD 2.28, up 21.00 percent from CAD 1.88 a year earlier, while adjusted return on equity reached 14.20 percent from 12.40 percent, according to Yahoo Finance. That comparison makes profitability the key support for the payout rather than the dividend amount alone.
