National Bank of Canada (ISIN CA6330671034) authorized a normal course issuer bid for up to 10,000,000 common shares worth as much as CAD 2.25 billion. The Globe and Mail reported the authorization on September 26, 2026, with regulatory and Toronto Stock Exchange approval required. The program is scheduled to run from October 2026 to October 2027.
Capital return sets the frame
The proposed repurchases represent 2.6 percent of the common shares outstanding, according to the same release. That gives the bank flexibility to reduce its share count while preserving discretion over the timing and volume of purchases.
The capital action follows third-quarter earnings that included CAD 3.25 in actual earnings per share on August 26, 2026. RTTNews lists the result alongside a CAD 2.58 estimate and identifies December 4, 2026 as the next fourth-quarter reporting date.
What does digital banking mean?

In a report dated October 22, 2026, MoneySense said Chief Executive Laurent Ferreira described a more mobile-centric and simpler model, with artificial intelligence affecting deposits and payments. The bank is also increasing investment in data protection as digital fraud risks develop.
