Earnings per share [abstract]  
Earnings Per Share
Note 10: Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to bank shareholders, after deducting dividends payable on preferred shares and distributions payable on other equity instruments, by the daily average number of fully paid common shares outstanding throughout the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated in the same manner, with further adjustments made to reflect the dilutive impact of instruments convertible into our common shares.

The following tables present our basic and diluted earnings per share:

(1)The dilutive effect of stock options was calculated using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted earnings per share, we excluded average stock options outstanding of 764,400 and 637,704 with a weighted-average exercise price of $196.75 and $199.52 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2026, respectively (716,633 and 594,569 with a weighted-average exercise price of $150.60 and 151.95 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2025, respectively), as the average share price for the periods did not exceed the exercise price.
