Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSX:TD) Valuation Check After Strong Earnings Jump and Dividend Policy Shift

Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSX:TD) just paired a strong full year earnings jump with a shift to semi annual dividend reviews, backing that up with a CAD 1.08 quarterly payout to common shareholders.

Those dividend moves land on top of a strong run, with the share price at about CA$122.20 and a year to date share price return of nearly 60 percent, backed by a 1 year total shareholder return above 70 percent. This signals momentum that is still building rather than fading.

If TD’s surge has you rethinking your bank exposure, this could be a smart moment to broaden your search and explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

Yet with earnings surging, dividends rising, and the share price already near analyst targets, investors have to ask: is Toronto Dominion still trading at a discount, or is the market already pricing in most of its future growth?

Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 3.4% Overvalued

With Toronto Dominion trading around CA$122.20 versus a narrative fair value near CA$118.13, the most followed view sees only a small premium, hinging on how its earnings profile evolves under tighter regulation and rising digital investment.

Persistent investment in compliance (notably elevated AML remediation, cyber, and fraud prevention costs) is expected to drive higher structural expenses, weighing on net margins and overall earnings growth well into 2026 and 2027, as regulatory scrutiny and associated operational costs remain elevated.

Another View: Multiples Point to Value, Not Excess

While the most popular narrative pegs TD as slightly overvalued, our valuation using a single earnings multiple paints a different picture. At 10.1 times earnings versus peers at 15.7 times and a fair ratio of 11.3, the gap suggests room for upside rather than downside. This raises the question of whether sentiment is lagging the fundamentals.
