3.01 / 10
Netural
BNS's fundamental analysis is rated neutral due to a 3.0/10 score. Key positives include a high gross profit margin of 36.7% and a 100% total profit/EBIT ratio, both in top quartiles. However, cash-related metrics (Cash-UP, Cash-MV) and asset efficiency (Asset-MV) lag, pulling overall fundamentals down. Historical back-tests show mixed monthly returns, with the best performance from the PB-ROE factor at 7.29% one-month return. This mixed record underscores the need for cautious fundamental conviction.
