(Reuters) - Toronto-Dominion Bank on Thursday beat analysts' estimates for quarterly profit, driven by growth across its U.S. and Canadian retail banking divisions, and raised its dividend by 13%.

Canada's second-largest lender said its adjusted net income rose to C$3.87 billion ($3.02 billion), or C$2.09, in the fourth quarter ended Oct. 31, from C$2.97 billion, or C$1.60 cents, a year earlier. Analysts on average had expected a profit of C$1.96 a share, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
