Citi targets Commonwealth Bank of Australia stock at AUD 141.00

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (AU000000CBA7) was trading at EUR 92.03 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 10:05 a.m. CEST, down 1.39 percent from the prior close of EUR 93.33. The latest analyst action came from Citi, whose analyst Thomas Strong maintained a Sell rating and set an AUD 141.00 price target in a note dated October 5, 2026, as Markets Insider reported on October 6, 2026.

Citi target stays below the quote

The AUD 141.00 target is below the ASX reference price of AUD 148.12 reported by the finance market snapshot at 5:10 a.m. UTC on October 8, 2026. That target comparison is separate from the German euro quotation, which uses Lang & Schwarz and its EUR 93.33 prior close.

The same Markets Insider report said Morgan Stanley maintained a Sell rating with an AUD 124.00 target in a report dated October 1, 2026. The competing targets put valuation at the center of the CBA debate, even as the bank continues to report year-over-year growth.

Fiscal 2026 delivered growth

According to The Motley Fool Australia on October 8, 2026, CBA said cash net profit after tax rose 7 percent and statutory net profit after tax increased 8 percent for the 12 months ended June 30, 2026. Operating income increased 6.2 percent over the same fiscal year.

The bank also paid a fully franked final dividend of AUD 2.70 per share in September 2026, bringing the fiscal 2026 total to AUD 5.05 per share, according to the same report. Those figures give investors a concrete counterweight to the bearish analyst targets, but they do not remove the valuation question.

Regional branches stay open

Commonwealth Bank had extended its commitment to keep regional branches open through December 2030, according to The West Australian on October 1, 2026. The commitment covers 281 regional locations, while CBA also announced AUD 140 million of investment in branch improvements during the current financial year.

The branch decision adds a service and cost dimension to the investment case. CBA operates more than 600 branches across regional and metropolitan locations, while its fiscal 2026 cash profit reached AUD 10.98 billion.

Euro quote remains under pressure

At Lang & Schwarz, CBA was trading intraday at EUR 92.03 on October 8, 2026 at 10:05 a.m. CEST, versus a prior close of EUR 93.33, a decrease of 1.39 percent. The primary listing is on the ASX, where the finance quote showed AUD 148.12, a 52-week range of AUD 146.98 to AUD 185.59 and market capitalization of AUD 247.7 billion as of October 8, 2026.
