Canadian investors often treat the big bank stocks as interchangeable, but as we navigate 2026, Bank of Montreal TSX:BMO ) and Bank of Nova Scotia TSX:BNS ), or Scotiabank stock, are offering distinct propositions. Both institutions command massive balance sheets with asset sizes around $1.5 trillion, yet their operational focuses diverge significantly. Respective investment return performances from 2025 tell a surprising story. Scotiabank stock managed to narrowly beat BMO stock with a total return of 37.8% compared to BMO's 33.3% during the past calendar year. This outperformance occurred despite Scotiabank suffering massive write-downs early in the year as it exited risky Central American markets. In fact, Scotiabank closed 2025 with significant momentum, posting a 12-month return of 45.2%, far outpacing BMO's 37.6%.
