TD Bank’s fourth-quarter profit exceeds expectations on higher rates boost

Image
A man walks past the TD Bank in the Bay Street Financial District in Toronto on Aug. 5, 2022. Nathan Denette/The Canadian Press Toronto-Dominion Bank TD-T reported adjusted fourth-quarter profits that beat expectations and raised its dividend as higher margins earned on loans helped drive strong retail banking returns in Canada and the U.S. TD is one of three major banks to report earnings that were better than anticipated in the fiscal fourth quarter, which ended Oct. 31. Its results were helped by a favourable tax rate, and included two large items that boosted results: a $2.3-billion gain on an interest-rate hedging strategy tied to its US$13.4-billion acquisition of First Horizon Corp., and a $997-million gain on the sale of shares in Charles Schwab Corp SCHW-N. TD earned $6.67-billion, or $3.62 per share, compared with $3.78-billion, or $2.04 per share, in the same quarter last year. After adjusting for special items, TD said it earned $4.07-billion, or $2.18 per share. On avera...

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
