Bank of Nova Scotia stock price 2026–2030: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If Bank of Nova Scotia's earnings keep growing at the 12.8% a year analysts expect to FY2028, it would earn about 9.19 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (8.2 to 17.1) that is 75.14 to 156.80 a share, or 112.81 at its average P/E of 12.3. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 6.11 | 49.98 | 75.03 | 104.29 |
| FY2027 | 6.54 | 53.47 | 80.28 | 111.58 |
| FY2028 | 7.23 | 59.09 | 88.72 | 123.31 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 8.15 | 66.64 | 100.04 | 139.05 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 9.19 | 75.14 | 112.81 | 156.80 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after grow 12.8% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (8.2, 12.3, 17.1).
Is Bank of Nova Scotia stock undervalued or overvalued?How does Arincen work out a stock's fair value? Fair value is our estimate of a share's price at the P/E the company usually trades at, with a low to high range around it.
Bank of Nova Scotia's P/E of 17.1 is near the top of its 5-year range (7.3 to 18.8, median 11.3). Analysts do not expect faster growth than in recent years, so it is expensive compared with its own history. Buyers pay less for each point of growth than usual: a PEG of 0.8 on expected growth against 7.9 on its median P/E and past five years' growth. Growing 21.9% a year, Bank of Nova Scotia earns a P/E of 21.9 at a PEG of 1 (at most 25): × the next twelve months' EPS of 6.56, a fair value of 143.75; the price, 92.36, is 35.8% below it. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2027, is 14.1.
Fair value on growth is a P/E equal to the EPS growth analysts expect a year (a PEG of 1, at most 25) times the earnings per share of the next twelve months; the ends of the bar are a PEG of 0.75 and 1.25 (a P/E of 16.4 and 27.4). The price against its P/E range
