The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS)

This article highlights 10 high-yield dividend stocks, selected for October 2025 based on strong financial health, attractive valuations, and competitive advantages. The chosen companies, including MO, BCH, BBSEY, CVX, EPD, VZ, BNS, USB, DPSTF/DHLGY, and ARCC, offer yields above 4% and market caps over $10B. Many picks, such as VZ, MO, and EPD, provide both robust dividend income and potential for dividend growth, enhancing portfolio stability and income.

Scotiabank maintains prudent loan management, which positions it well against the impact of the recent Fed and BoC rate cut. Its strategic asset diversification, low loan-to-deposit ratio, and high capital ratios suggest sustainability and dividend longevity. The stock price remains very reactive to sales and book value, so the recent rally stays justifiable on top of the 5% dividend yield.

The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index has a tiny little average yield of around 1.2% today. That's probably not enough income to support most investors' retirement goals, particularly if they aim to rely largely on the distributions their portfolios churn out rather than on funds freed up by selling shares.

The average large U.S. bank stock has a dividend yield of 2.3%. You can do way better than that if you buy Canadian banking giants Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD 0.79%) or Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS -0.74%), which have yields of 3.9% and 4.9%, respectively.

Patience is key to successful investing and the secret to building a resilient portfolio. Income investing uses the art of compounding to build long-term wealth. We discuss two steady dividends, with yields of up to 6.5%.

Bank of Nova Scotia offers a compelling 5.1% dividend yield, robust capital ratios, and strong execution across Canadian and international segments. Earnings growth is fueled by higher net interest income, wealth management momentum, and operational efficiencies, with 15% YoY EPS growth in Q3 2025. Share buybacks, a commercial banking turnaround, and global wealth inflows support a positive long-term outlook despite a recent share price rally.
