Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.TO)(TD) should hang on to its remaining stake in U.S. brokerage firm Charles Schwab (SCHW) until a meaningful investment opportunity comes up, a Scotia Capital analyst says.

“While TD’s holdings in SCHW are not strategic, it is a good investment that the bank can ultimately use for strategic purposes down the road,” analyst Meny Grauman wrote in a note to investors Wednesday, pointing to forecasts for ongoing earnings growth at Schwab.

There has been speculation in recent weeks that TD might sell its remaining 10.1 per cent stake in Schwab even before it completes a comprehensive strategic review, with the proceeds potentially going to a share buyback. Grauman agrees that such a move would likely increase earnings per share, but argues that rationale alone doesn’t justify a sale.

The primary reason, he says, is that share buybacks in the Canadian banking sector “don’t tend to correlate with superior earnings growth or stock performance.” He points to National Bank of Canada, which over the past five years “has bought back a minimal amount of stock but continues to deliver peer-leading earnings growth and share performance.” Over the same period, Grauman says, TD has been “aggressively buying back shares … but clearly that has not translated into superior returns, let alone superior earnings growth.”

Shares of TD were trading just under $82 on the Toronto Stock Exchange as at 1 p.m. ET Wednesday, down a few tenths of a percentage point. The shares have risen almost 10 per cent over the last month, with a growing number of analysts seeing upside in the stock after a 2024 brimming with bad news.

Last August, TD sold around 40 million shares of Schwab to fund expected financial penalties for its anti-money laundering failures at its U.S. banking operation. That sale reduced its stake from 12.3 per cent to the current 10.1 per cent.

TD announced Wednesday that Schwab’s fourth-quarter earnings will translate to around $231 million of reported equity in net income for TD’s fiscal 2025 first quarter. Jefferies Financial Group analysts estimate that Schwab’s earnings contribution marks a 30 per cent increase from the previous quarter, and 64 per cent year-over-year.

Furthermore, Grauman writes that “over the next two years, the consensus outlook for earnings growth at SCHW is materially higher than the earnings growth outlook for TD’s U.S. segment [excluding] SCHW.”

The Scotiabank note says that TD has few immediate acquisition options necessitating a cash influx, “in Canada because of a lack of targets and in the US because of regulatory constraints.”

Justin Baldoni's attorney addresses potential settlement with Blake Lively
Justin Baldoni's attorney insisted they may not be open to a settlement with Blake Lively. The actress, 36, and 49-year-old filmmaker have been embroiled in a bitter labyrinthine legal dispute for months after she accused him of harassment while they made domestic abuse movie ‘It Ends With Us’. Appearing on Matthew Belloni's podcast 'The Town', Baldoni's lawyer Bryan Freedman was asked "what it would require for this to go away", as he referred to the "potential for the circus and the damage to both sides". But Freedman argued: "You keep referring to it as a circus and I get it. You see a lot of cases. "You see a lot of things, but the reality is this is not a circus when you go through an experience like this. "I’ve represented a lot of people in the worst moments of their career, the worst moments of their life. Justin has been destroyed by this." Freedman suggested "the only way" to really attempt to prove his client's innocence could be in court. He continued: "In this day and age, the only way that you can truly get back is to prove your innocence and that’s what we’re actively working to [do]. "That may only be able to be done in a courtroom." Justin, 41, completed filming on 'It Ends With Us' in early 2024 and started a press tour in August, and after fans noted Blake did not participate in interviews with him or attend the film’s premiere. Blake then filed a sexual harassment complaint against Justin – alleging that he and his agents conducted a smear campaign against her. Her lawsuit against him is set to go to trial in March 2026, following her initial filing in New York Federal Court. Blake - who played Justin's on-screen love interest in the movie - previously told the New York Times newspaper: "I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted." Justin - who also directed the 2024 romantic drama film - has denied the allegations, with his lawyer describing the claims as "categorically false". Bryan, who is acting as a lawyer for the actor and his Wayfarer Studios production company, told Variety: "These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media."

Halle Berry wants women to throw menopause parties
Halle Berry wants women to celebrate the menopause by throwing a "shiesta" party. The Hollywood actress, 58, has revealed she will officially enter menopause on March 21 - the date which will mark 12 months since her last period - and she is convinced the date needs to be acknowledged like "every other milestone" in life. According to New York Post column PageSix, Halle explained her ideas during an upcoming appearance on 'The Tamsen Show' podcast, saying: "When a woman realizes that she’s in the menopause - you know, 365 days, and you know you’re in it - it is their duty to give that woman a ‘shiesta’ to celebrate her, like we do every other milestone in our life." Halle went on to confess she thought she would be able to "skip" menopause because she has spent so many years prioritising healthy living. She added: "There was a feeling of: ‘Hey, I can do pretty much anything I want to do if I eat right and exercise, and prioritize my health and well-being'. "I thought whatever menopause is - I don’t know much about it - but I’m sure I’m going to skip it, because I’m too healthy! I’m on top of everything." Halle launched her own wellness platform Respin in 2020, but she recently repurposed it to focus on menopause and women’s health issues. The actress has also been campaigning for more research into the menopause and more funding for treatments. She recently told Women's Health magazine: "As women, we've been told that's it's just what happens when you get older - you just have to white-knuckle it, grin and bear it. Well, no, that's just not good enough." Halle recently revealed she was sent into a spin after a doctor misdiagnosed her perimenopause symptoms as herpes and she then spent 72 hours with her partner Van Hunt playing the "blame game" trying to work out how she had contracted the sexually transmitted infection (STI). During an appearance on 'The Drew Barrymore Show', Halle explained: "I tried to go to the bathroom and I couldn’t go. It was so painful when I tried to let a little bit out. I couldn’t go. It took me almost 10 minutes just to empty my bladder because it was so painful. "Substances were down there that I had never seen before. And I thought, ‘What is this?’” After seeing a doctor, she was diagnosed with a "really bad case of herpes", and Halle added: "We spend the next 72 hours doing the blame game, trying to figure out who gave it to me, who gave it to him. And then a couple of hours after that, my doctor called me and said, ‘You do not have herpes'." Halle went on to do some research and discovered her symptoms were linked to perimenopause - which hits prior to menopause.
