Nichola Saminather 4 分钟阅读 TORONTO, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Bank of Montreal and Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank) beat estimates for first-quarter profit on Tuesday as they set aside less-than-expected capital to cover bad loans, and said economic recoveries driven by the rollout of coronavirus vaccines will boost performance into the year. Both banks also returned to pre-pandemic profit levels as they posted higher earnings from a year earlier driven by strong growth in capital markets and wealth management. This helped offset more muted increases in their Canadian units and a decline in Scotiabank’s international business. BMO shares rose 2.8% to C$104.68 in morning trading in Toronto, on track for their highest close since May 2019. Scotiabank shares increased 2.7% to C$74.01, heading for their best day in over a year. The Toronto stock benchmark lost 0.8%.
