5i Research Answer:
There is no company news; yesterday, Bloomberg had these brief comments: TD provisions could rise 35% in 2024 above pre-pandemic levels, with the related ratio reaching 40-50 bps. TD is a retail-focused bank with a large US operation, yet its commercial exposure is sizable. Cards are 4% of total loans, 2x the peer average, and mortgage exposure is in line. The commercial real estate book has similar share, with a US tilt. commercial loan reserves are among the highest.
