The quarterly dividend currently provides a very attractive 4.52% yield, and the bank has provided a healthy annual bump to the payout for at least the past few years, with the most recent hike coming this past quarter. Unlike many of its big bank peers, Bank of Nova Scotia opted to expand primarily into Latin America over the U.S. market, and that decision has provided incredible growth for the company's international segment for multiple, consecutive quarters. The Pacific Alliance member nations in particular have fueled strong results for the bank, most recently realizing 15% growth over the prior year. In the most recent quarter, Bank of Nova Scotia reported net income of $1.93 billion, which, while lower than the$2.1 billion reported in the same quarter last year, was attributed to the acquisitions the bank completed during the quarter.
