The reviews regarding the Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) present a mixed view among experts.

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

BUY

Expects the banks to have a 15/20% growth rate over the next couple of years. Good ROE.

DON'T BUY

Looks good, but banks are always influenced by the short term rates which are "artificially" low (government established) at this time. Caution.

DON'T BUY

A little too high now.

BUY

Long term quality.

BUY

All the bad news is behind it.

BUY

Good profitibility. Cheap. Expects growth on their retail side.

BUY

Has good upside potential.

BUY

Banks have done better than expected. Not a fan of Bank of Montreal though. TD is #1.

BUY

Very strong on all the banks except for CIBC.

STRONG BUY

Good value. Has a strong growth outlook.

TOP PICK

Expects the banks to give dividend increases and they are at good prices now.

BUY

Banks are getting down to an interesting level. Good as a long term hold.

TOP PICK

Likes all the banks. Good dividends, long term appreciation and at a good price.

TOP PICK

Likes the bank stocks. P/E is at 10.5 and has a dividend of 2.8%. Argentina won't have a big affect on them.

DON'T BUY

Exposure to Argentina would be equal to one years earnings. Interest rates will probably stay flat.
