Commonwealth Bank of Australia stock was at EUR 95.98 at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026 at 9:12 a.m. CEST. The bank's fiscal 2026 cash net profit after tax rose 7 percent to AUD 11 billion, while the board declared a fully franked AUD 5.05 full-year dividend per share.

The financial update came from the bank's annual general meeting on October 14, 2026. In the Commonwealth Bank CEO address, management said lending grew at or above system growth across five core product categories during fiscal 2026. The bank said this was the first time a major Australian bank had achieved that result in 15 years.

Three events define the latest picture

On October 1, 2026, Jarden maintained a Sell rating and assigned a price target of AUD 90.00, according to Markets Insider. On October 11, 2026, Citi analyst Thomas Strong maintained a Sell rating with an AUD 141.00 target in the same report.

On October 14, 2026, the AGM update supplied the latest company event. The chair said CBA returned AUD 8.3 billion to shareholders during fiscal 2026, including the full-year dividend. The figure gives income investors a second measure of the bank's payout capacity beyond earnings growth.

What supports the 2027 outlook?

The operating detail points to a broad lending base rather than a single growth engine. During the last financial year, CBA provided AUD 50 billion of new business lending, helped customers buy more than 150,000 homes and arranged 147,000 payment plans for customers experiencing financial difficulty, according to the Commonwealth Bank CEO address.

The counterweight is valuation pressure reflected in the recent analyst stance. Citi's AUD 141.00 target and Jarden's AUD 90.00 target were both below the ASX reference price of AUD 154.38 reported for October 16, 2026, but those targets use different assumptions and are not combined with the euro quotation.
