The Bank of Nova Scotia (
BNS) reported second-quarter earnings that narrowly beat analyst estimates, but profits fell year-over-year due to uncertainty around interest rate cuts and inflation in the U.S. and abroad.

Analysts expected net income of C$2.05 billion, or C$1.55 per share.
Scotiabank saw net income increase in its wealth management division and international operations, while profit dropped about 4% year-over-year in the bank's Canadian operations due to higher provision for credit losses (PCL) and expenses. The bank also declared a quarterly dividend of C$1.06 per share, set to be paid out July 29 to shareholders of record on July 3. This will be the fourth consecutive quarter in which Scotiabank pays out a C$1.06-per-share dividend.
