  "account": "The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) reported a 14.2% adjusted return on equity (ROE) for the third quarter, surpassing its 14% medium-term ROE objective and indicating a durable improvement. Adjusted net income stood at C$2.97 billion, with diluted earnings per share reaching C$2.28 and ROE at 14.1%. Canadian Banking and Global Wealth Management segments led the gains, with Canadian Banking earnings increasing 12% to C$1.07 billion and Global Wealth Management earnings surging 23%. Total net interest income climbed to C$5.87 billion, while insider holdings saw a rise to 24 hedge funds at the end of Q2 2026. While the improvement appears promising, the article cautions that one quarter's data does not conclusively prove the ROE objective's sustainability.",
