ANZ Group Holdings reported its fiscal 2026 result on Monday, November 9, for the year ended September 30. In its 2026 Full Year Result and Proposed Final Dividend, the bank said cash profit rose 31 percent to 7,591 million Australian dollars. Excluding significant items from fiscal 2025, cash profit increased 10 percent and cash return on tangible equity reached 11.56 percent.

Execution becomes the next test

The result also sets a more specific timetable for ANZ's transformation agenda. Management said the integration of Suncorp Bank is on track for completion by June 2027, while the single customer front-end for retail and small-business customers is targeted for September 2027.

ANZ said it generated a productivity benefit of 902 million Australian dollars, exceeding the 875 million Australian dollars outlined at the first-half result. The cost-to-income ratio improved by more than four percentage points to 49.26 percent. These milestones give investors concrete measures for judging whether the ANZ 2030 strategy is translating into sustained efficiency gains.

Dividend support remains visible

The board declared a final dividend of 83 Australian cents per share with an 80 percent franking rate, up from 75 percent in the first half. The full-year dividend totals 166 Australian cents per share. ANZ also reported a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 11.99 percent at September 30.
