Reported metrics

Guidance from management

For fiscal 2027, Canaccord expects firm-wide pretax operating margin to improve by low single digits, supported by strategic priorities and expense discipline.

What management said

Yes. And again, just like our Canadian business, we're investing in growth in that business, net organic asset growth to Nadine's point that doesn't come free. You invest in tools, you invest in technology, invest in people. So you're seeing those investments play out on the cost side in the U.K. a little bit. But as Nadine also noted, we have invested already. So you'd expect those costs to come down.

Yes. There were definitely some increased cost as it related to the Wilson acquisition, Visas has been fully integrated now. So we do expect that the margin expansion, just given the scale of that business will start to improve closer to what you would see from a peer average.

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns about the sustainability of expense reductions, particularly in Canada and the U.S., and sought clarity on the outlook for capital markets activity amid geopolitical and economic uncertainties.
