Fitch Reaffirms The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS)'s Credit Ratings; Outlook Steady
The Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE:BNS) is one of the best Goldman Sachs bank stocks. On June 9, Fitch Ratings maintained the Bank of Nova Scotia's long-term and short-term issuer default ratings at 'AA-' and 'F1+', respectively, maintaining a stable outlook. These ratings indicate the constraints in Scotiabank's operating environment, reflected by its average operating environment score of 'aa-'. This score factors in the risks and revenue from primary end markets, such as Canada, the United States, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and Colombia. BNS maintains a leading retail banking position in Canada. Scotiabank is working on a five-year plan launched in December 2023 to grow its core businesses, strengthen relationships with clients, and improve how the bank operates. As part of this plan, BNS bought a 14.9% stake in KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY) and simplified its operations in Latin America by exiting Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama. Fitch observed that, given its significant presence in Mexico, BNS could feel more of an impact from new US tariffs than other Canadian banks. Broader economic challenges in Mexico and Canada could also put pressure on the quality of its loan book. In Q2 2025, the percentage of impaired loans rose to 90bps, up from 83bps the year before, mostly due to weaker performance in Canadian retail and commercial lending. Credit quality has been a consistent challenge for BNS compared to other domestic banks, again tied to its international exposure. A businessman's hand pointing to a graph on a projector screen illustrating economic trends. Revenue at BNS has improved due to better loan management and stronger margins, but near-term profit pressure remains as the bank continues to realign its operations. To guard against tariff-related risks, it has increased loan-loss provisions. Capital levels are solid, with a CET1 ratio of 13.2%, providing a strong buffer in uncertain conditions. Fitch does not expect a ratings upgrade soon. A more optimistic outlook would require lower exposure to emerging markets and reduced risk from Canadian household debt and housing. While we acknowledge the potential of BNS as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

Hyatt all-inclusives are getting into immersive offerings
That today's luxury travelers are seeking immersive programming is well established. The all-inclusive sector, however, has traditionally focused on a relatively straightforward formula, centered less on immersion and more on sun, sand and endless buffets. Ana Tomicevic But as the industry evolves to tap into experiential demand, market leader Hyatt Hotels Corp. is bolstering its portfolio of 140-plus all-inclusives with programming that Ana Tomicevic, global vice president of brand and marketing for Hyatt's Inclusive Collection said is designed to "take things to the next level." "We know people want unique experiences, and our properties do a great job of doing that today," Tomicevic said. "But how can we innovate even more?" While the all-inclusive industry as a whole has made significant strides in elevating its culinary offerings over the years, raising the bar further on food and beverage remains a key focus, according to Tomicevic. She pointed to recent developments such as the Secrets Tulum Resort & Beach Club's vegan restaurant and the Hyatt Vivid Grand Island's "eco-garden," where the Cancun resort sources some of its farm-to-table ingredients. As part of its more Gen Z-oriented positioning, the adults-only Hyatt Vivid concept also emphasizes what Tomicevic describes as a "casual over formality" dining approach, featuring grab-and-go poolside taco trucks and ceviche bars that eliminate traditional restaurant wait times. A poolside pop-up at a Dreams resort, created in partnership with MasterChef Junior. Photo Credit: Inclusive Collection The company's newest and perhaps most unconventional dining program targets even younger foodies. Earlier this year, the Inclusive Collection unveiled a program created in partnership with the culinary competition television series "MasterChef Junior," rolling out kid-friendly experiences and menu offerings inspired by the show across select Dreams resorts. Designed for children ages 6 to 12, activities include a Mystery Box Challenge at the Explorer's Club kids club, where children compete to create themed dishes, and pop-up poolside activations like a customizable Popsicle station. "For kids, by kids" menus are crafted by "MasterChef Junior" season 9 winner Bryson McGlynn and season 8 semifinalist Ivy Childs. McGlynn's menu showcases dishes like Alabama Pow Pow Shrimp Tacos, made with Cajun-battered shrimp, while Childs' features the Jacky O' Chicken, panko-crusted chicken breast paired with mustard, thyme, tomato and capers, among other ingredients. The MasterChef Junior programming and menus are currently available at four Dreams properties in Mexico and the Caribbean, with expansion to a dozen more Dreams resorts set to follow shortly. "We're really trying to expose kids to different flavors and different cuisines," Tomicevic said. "Instead of just having chicken nuggets and fries, we're introducing them to different tastes and different experiences through cooking." Fitness and other activities Culinary isn't the only area where the Inclusive Collection is expanding its programming. As part of Hyatt's partnership with Peloton, the portfolio has also been introducing the fitness brand's eponymous exercise bikes to Inclusive Collection properties, with guests able to connect their Peloton and World of Hyatt loyalty program accounts and earn points during workouts. "You're burning your calories, and you're earning points at the same time," Tomicevic said. The immersive focus also extends to what Tomicevic describes as more "culturally relevant" experiences and entertainment. She points to offerings like traditional temazcal sweat lodge rituals available at several properties or pottery wheel throwing, one of many activities offered at the Hyatt Vivid Grand Island. The Inclusive Collection's experiential push comes as Hyatt's all-inclusive business posts strong gains -- up 7% in booking pace for the second quarter -- even as economic uncertainty puts pressure on broader U.S. leisure demand. "People are really being more sensitive in how they spend their money," said Tomicevic, who added that the format's inherent value proposition appeals to cost-conscious travelers. "We know that's a reality, and I think that is benefiting all-inclusive." Also helping drive demand is the Inclusive Collection's continued expansion. Just this month, the portfolio announced the opening of the Secrets Baby Beach Aruba and the Secrets St. Lucia Resort & Spa, the collection's first Secrets resorts on those islands. "Aruba has never traditionally been an all-inclusive market, and in St. Lucia, while there are some all-inclusives, it's not a traditional one either," Tomicevic said. "So those are definitely going to be interesting."
