1 Multibagger Financial Stock Down 6% Paying an Iron-Clad Dividend
Written by Amy Legate-Wolfe at The Motley Fool Canada When markets get rocky, and headlines scream recession, many Canadians start thinking about where to park their cash. And with good reason. According to a June 2025 report from BMO, concerns about inflation, recession, and job security jumped sharply from March to April. In fact, 76% of Canadians now say they're more concerned about inflation, and 58% are more worried about their personal finances. In times like these, investors often turn to dependable dividend stocks to provide stability and income. One of the best examples on the TSX right now might be Bank of Nova Scotia (TSX:BNS). Scotiabank, one of Canada's Big Five banks, has been a pillar of financial strength for nearly two centuries. It's known for paying dividends every year since 1833. Right now, the dividend stock is down about 6% year to date. But while the share price slipped, the dividend hasn't. In fact, it's holding steady with a very attractive yield of 5.8% as of writing. That's well above the TSX average and higher than most savings accounts or Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs). And best of all, that dividend is backed by solid fundamentals. A $7,000 investment could bring in $402.80 in annual income at writing through dividends alone! COMPANY RECENT PRICE NUMBER OF SHARES DIVIDEND TOTAL PAYOUT FREQUENCY INVESTMENT TOTAL BNS $72.93 95 $4.24 $402.80 Quarterly $6,928.35 In its second quarter 2025 earnings report, Scotiabank posted net income of $2.03 billion, or $1.52 per share. While that came in a bit below the $1.56 expected, it still represents a strong showing in a turbulent economy. Revenues hit $8.35 billion, supported by gains in Global Wealth Management and International Banking. Wealth income was up 17% from a year ago, while international earnings climbed 7%. These segments are helping to balance out weaker results from Canadian Banking, where net income fell 31%, largely due to rising provisions for credit losses. These provisions are part of the bank's cautious stance amid economic uncertainty. The common equity tier-one ratio, which measures financial strength, remains solid at 13.2%. That gives Scotiabank a strong buffer in case the economy gets worse. Management also announced a buyback program for up to 20 million shares, signalling confidence in the dividend stock's long-term outlook. Despite short-term challenges, this is a bank that knows how to play the long game. It has a diverse revenue stream, with operations in Latin America and the Caribbean, giving it exposure to faster-growing markets. While that adds some risk, it also provides more ways to grow earnings over time. Its focus on digital banking and cost control should also help it stay competitive. For income-focused investors, the dividend is really the highlight here. At 5.8%, it provides steady income even if the stock stays flat. And with a payout ratio of around 50%, it looks sustainable. The bank has a history of increasing its dividend when profits grow, and while hikes may be paused for now, the long-term trend is clearly upward. Holding a stock like this can offer powerful compounding benefits, especially if you reinvest the dividends. Furthermore, this has been a multi-bagger stock for years. Shares of Scotiabank are up 14% in the last year, 48% in the last five years, and a whopping 316% in the last 20. Yet it's true that Scotiabank isn't a flashy growth stock. It's a steady, reliable financial institution with a long history and strong foundations. It might take time for the share price to recover, but while you wait, you're collecting cash every quarter. In today's environment of higher inflation and economic jitters, that's not a bad place to be. The BMO survey shows that Canadians are paying closer attention to their financial future. Many are worried, but they're also making smarter choices. And for those looking to ride out the storm, Scotiabank offers a classic combination of income, value, and resilience. It's not immune to market noise, but its dividend is about as iron-clad as it gets on the TSX. That kind of dependability is rare and, in times like these, worth holding on to.

Dreaming of a lakeside cottage but can't afford it? Co-ownership could open that door
A lakeview cottage with cosy rooms, a sandy beach nearby and a dock to gaze into the sunset was the dream for Corrine Evanoff. 'For years, I've been on this journey of trying to find a cottage that would work for us,' she said. But Evanoff and her husband didn't want to incur the burden of constant cottage maintenance — spending vacation days fixing decks and pruning trees. They opted instead to rent over the years, still hoping to one day buy. Then, it happened. They found a cottage not too far from home — for a fraction of the price they thought they'd have to pay, thanks to fractional ownership. Also called co-ownership, it allows people to buy a share of a property with others, whether it's family, friends or even strangers. Affordability sits at the heart of fractionally owned cottages. Many Canadians still find themselves priced out of the market, even as cottage prices have declined from peaks seen during the pandemic. Re/Max brokers and agents anticipate a national average price increase of about 1.8 per cent across the Canadian recreational market in 2025, a May report by the real estate firm, showed. On their first visit to check out a prospective cottage last fall, Evanoff recalled walking into a lake-facing cottage with large windows at Frontenac Shores in Cloyne, Ont., about 300 kilometres northeast of Toronto, and was sold. 'We sat in these Muskoka chairs on the beach and our feet are in the water, and I just felt the stress shredding off me,' she said. 'This is the dream that I've been dreaming for all these years … and this is within reach.' Evanoff and her husband now own one-tenth of a million-dollar cottage, costing them less than $100,000 for their share — and affording them five weeks a year at the property. Fractional ownership of a cottage is not like a timeshare, said Realtor Mike Lange, who has been dealing with co-owned cottages for about seven years in Kawartha Lakes, Ont. 'With a timeshare, you put your name in requesting a location, you have no guarantee that that's going to be available,' he said. 'There's been a lot of heartaches over them over the years.' Timeshare properties can be owned by for-profit corporations, leaving less autonomy for those staying there. Don Smith, who co-owns a property in Kawartha Lakes, bought into a cottage in the mid-2000s after he saw a newspaper ad about fractional cottage ownership. 'I was in the staff room reading the newspaper as a mathematics and computer studies teacher,' he recalled. 'As a math teacher, that caught my eye: What's this fraction all about, this cottage, this idea?' For the Smiths, fractional ownership wasn't a financial investment but a lifestyle investment that has paid off over the past two decades. 'This is where my daughter learned to swim, that's where my daughter learned to kayak, that is when my daughter had learned to appreciate animals.' But it may not be for everyone. Smith said fractionally owned cottages are usually 100 per cent debt-free. That means new co-owners typically can't secure a mortgage against the property from traditional banks and will have to rely on personal loans or a line of credit to buy their share. Personal touches to the cottage can also be missing with fractional ownership and people can't just show up at any time, he said. 'It's not like you can personally put all your favourite pictures and put all of the junk that you don't want in your home garage and take it up there and leave it,' Smith said. Real estate developer John Puffer has years of experience building cottages and selling them in fractional ownership arrangements in Ontario's cottage country regions. When he first got into the business, Puffer assumed the buyers would mostly be people in their 30s with young families. Instead, they happened to be people in their 50s and 60s, buying cottage shares for their adult children and grandchildren, or people who don't want to commit the dollars and worry about maintenance. 'That is part of the Canadian cottage experience in Ontario … that's where families congregate at the cottage and (it's) multi-generations,' said Puffer, president of Chandler Point Corp. Tanya Walker, litigation lawyer and managing partner at Walker Law, suggests potential buyers should get a good contract lawyer and treat the contract 'as if it's a pre-nuptial agreement' before signing on to be a co-owner. She said buyers going into fractional ownership should ask questions about who the other co-owners are, the voting rights people get for their share and what happens when they want to sell their stake. Walker added it's also important to look into who manages the property, the financials of the property as well as how much time you'll get to use the cottage and when. Puffer said people really have to understand what they're buying into. He suggested people read the contract and find out who's in control, what their obligations are, and talk to people who already own. For Evanoff and her husband, it will be their third time heading up to the Frontenac Shores cottage next month. 'It's like, wow! That just seems like a gift,' she said. 'This (fractional ownership) seems like the best-kept secret but I think it's going to catch on ... and you're going to see a lot of people tap into this market.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 15, 2025.

Logan Airport is starting to see decline in Canadian travelers
The drop in April marked the first year-over-year decline in Canadian visitors at the airport in 2025; the total is still up slightly for the year so far, when compared to the first four months of 2024. (May passenger traffic numbers are not yet public.) Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'That's obviously incredibly disappointing [but] with one month of data, I'm not ready to press the panic button,' Davey said in an interview earlier this month, after Massport published the April numbers. Advertisement National statistics released by the Canadian government last week indicate the trend most likely continued at Logan through May. Plane trips by Canadian residents from the US fell 24 percent in May, year over year, while Canadian vehicular trips from the US fell 38 percent. The backlash in Canada started early this year. Then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged Canadians to vacation in their home country instead of going to the US, as President Trump imposed new tariffs on goods imported from Canada and talked repeatedly about the benefits of Canada becoming the '51st state.' Advertisement Current prime minister Mark Carney has strongly rebuffed the 51st state idea, though he indicated several days ago that he's hopeful about progress with the Trump administration on trade issues. In an attempt to counteract some of the Trump administration's hostility, Governor Maura Healey on Monday will be hosting in Boston several Canadian premiers and governors from Northeast states to talk about ways to maintain strong economic relations among the states and provinces. Much is at stake: Visiting Canadians spent an estimated $20 billion in the US last year. Amid the pushback in Canada to US leisure travel, JetBlue decided to cancel a new flight from Boston to Halifax it had planned, and Porter Airlines cut one of its Boston flights to Ottawa. Travel research firm Tourism Economics is predicting much bigger drops ahead for Greater Boston, with 657,000 Canadian visits expected to the region in 2025, a 20 percent decline from 2024, and a 24 percent drop from what was originally projected for 2025. David O'Donnell, a vice president with the Meet Boston tourism bureau, said his organization hasn't yet heard from local hotels about Canadian travel, but it expects a decline in international travelers to pick up in the summer. Many visitors who booked in the first half of the year would have faced cancellation fees if they opted not to come, but in the second half of the year, many of the bookings will reflect decisions made since Trump took office. Concerns about Canadian tourism prompted state Senator John Keenan of Quincy to file a budget amendment last month requiring the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism to report to the Legislature the feasibility of promoting Massachusetts as a destination for residents of countries showing a decline in travel to this state in 2025. The Senate adopted the language as part of its state budget proposal, but its fate now remains tied to House-Senate budget negotiations. Advertisement 'Clearly our Canadian numbers, like those at a lot of other [US] airports, are going in the wrong direction,' Davey said. 'I hope it's not a canary in the coal mine for us, but we're going to keep a close eye on it.' Jon Chesto can be reached at
