ANZ Group Holdings (ISIN AU000000ANZ3) trades at EUR 24.97 at Lang & Schwarz on October 26, 2026 at 9:11 a.m. CEST, up 4.04 percent versus the Xetra close of October 23, 2026 at EUR 24.00. The latest corporate development is a shareholder-proposed climate transition resolution received on October 20, 2026, ahead of the bank's annual meeting.

The proposal would require ANZ to disclose by the end of 2027 a time-bound plan for assessing climate-transition policies and energy-sector financing. The Globe and Mail reported that the resolution is scheduled for consideration at the December 17, 2026 annual meeting.

What does the proposal mean?

The resolution adds a governance test to ANZ's operating agenda rather than changing near-term earnings guidance. It asks for clearer criteria and deadlines for financing decisions tied to customers' fossil-fuel activities, with the proposed disclosure extending into 2027.

Quarterly profit sets the test

ANZ's fiscal 2026 third-quarter update showed cash profit of AUD 1.90 billion, a 1 percent increase from the quarterly average of the first half. Excluding a New Zealand class-action provision, cash profit rose 5 percent on that comparison. Yahoo Finance reported that revenue increased 1 percent during the quarter, while net interest income excluding Markets rose 3 percent.

The update also put the bank's productivity target in view: ANZ remains on track for AUD 875 million in gross cost savings in fiscal 2026. That target matters because management said full-year expense guidance remains about 5 percent below the fiscal 2025 cost base of AUD 11.85 billion, excluding significant items.

Three dated developments

On August 12, 2026, ANZ reported fiscal 2026 third-quarter cash profit up 1 percent against the first-half quarterly average. On October 9, 2026, a Federal Court ruling affected about AUD 117 million of class-action settlements and related defense costs, according to Beinsure. On October 20, 2026, shareholders proposed the climate-transition disclosure resolution.

Which dates come next?

ANZ's full-year results are scheduled for November 9, 2026, while the annual meeting is set for December 17, 2026. The two dates frame the next sequence of earnings and governance disclosures.
