Recent results set the tone
According to EQB Inc.’s most recently reported quarterly results for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the bank generated revenue of roughly CAD 456.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with about CAD 402.0 million in the prior-year quarter, an increase of around 13.4 percent year over year.

Dividend and capital support the shares

The bank’s capital position also remains an important support factor, with its common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio last reported at roughly 13.5 percent for the second quarter of 2026, compared with around 13.1 percent a year earlier, giving EQB some room to continue growing its loan book while absorbing potential credit losses.
