ANZ Group Holdings stock traded at 24.14 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 15:34 CET on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 4.96 percent above the Xetra close of Monday, November 9 at 23.00 euros. The quote followed the bank's fiscal 2026 results, which showed stronger earnings but left investors focused on execution.

In its official full-year result released on November 9, ANZ reported cash profit of 7.591 billion Australian dollars for the year ended September 30, 2026. Statutory profit reached 7.270 billion Australian dollars. Cash profit increased 31 percent year on year, while the bank said it rose 10 percent excluding significant items recognized in fiscal 2025.

Dividend support improves shareholder returns

The board declared a final dividend of 83 Australian cents per share, taking the full-year dividend to 166 cents. The final payment carries an 80 percent franking rate, up from 75 percent at the interim result. ANZ also reported a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 11.99 percent at September 30, supporting its claim that capital remains sufficient for lending growth and shareholder distributions.

Management's next test is execution. The result highlighted disciplined management of margins, capital, costs and business volumes, while ANZ continues to implement its ANZ 2030 strategy. Investors are likely to weigh the lower cost base against margin pressure, credit costs and the need to sustain earnings momentum.
