Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSX: TD) enjoyed a nice recovery in 2025. Investors who have missed the rally wonder if TD shares are still undervalued and good to buy for a self-driven tax-free savings account (TFSA) or registered pension savings plan (RRSP) aimed at dividends and total returns.
TD Bank -Sharing price
TD acts almost $ 103 per share at the time of writing. It recently stood up to $ 108 and received the peak from 2022.
The decrease in 2022 and 2023 took place largely as a result of rising interest rates in Canada and the United States. Higher interest rates are normally positive for banks because of the extensive net interest rate margins that can be generated, but the steep rise in rates for such a short period was too much for some borrowers to handle. This led to a steady increase in the provisions for credit losses (PCL) at TD and his colleagues. Investors were also concerned that the central banks were forced to drive the economy into a recession to get inflation under control.
At the end of 2023, the Bank of Canada and the American Federal Reserve indicated that they had finished increasing interest rates. This led to a rebound for the wider banking sector when investors started to anticipate tariff reductions and lower PCL. Moreover, the dreaded recession has never been released, probably due to high levels of pandemic savings that consumers had spending.
TD should have collected with the rest of the sector until 2024, but the stock continued to slide as a result of problems with his American activities. American supervisors placed an asset jap on TD and reached the bank with fines of more than US $ 3 billion last year for not having enough systems to detect and prevent money laundering.
Possibility
At the end of 2024 TD shares, bargain hunters started buying with the expectation that the majority of the bad news was already in the rearview mirror. TD set a new CEO in early 2025. Since then, the bank has sold its remaining position in Charles Schwab for net revenues of more than $ 20 billion. TD uses $ 8 billion to buy back shares and assign the rest to other initiatives.
TD has just reported that the tax third quarter (Q3) has adjusted the net result of $ 3.87 billion compared to $ 3.65 billion in the same quarter last year. PCL fell to $ 971 million compared to $ 1.07 billion in tax Q3 2024. The financial results were largely better than expected by analysts who cover the bank.
At some point the American activities must be deleted to extend the expansion. In the meantime, TD is on a cash treasure that will enable it to drive out every market turbulence or to follow deals in other markets. The war box also gives the bank the flexibility to aggressively compete for attractive Canadian customers who are part of the approximately two million mortgage holders who have to be extended in 2025 and 2026. Winning the mortgage activities opens the door to the sale of other products.
Time to buy?
The easy money is probably already earned and the wider stock markets are due to a withdrawal. In addition, rates can increase inflation in the coming months and the economy begins to show some signs of weakness.
TD demonstrably earns a core possession in a diversified portfolio, and today you get a decent 4% dividend yield, but new buyers of the shares may want to wait for a better access point that can be on the road.
