UBS target follows stronger earnings
The target revision followed a fiscal year 2026 in which Macquarie's net profit rose 30.00 percent to AUD 4.85 billion. The Motley Fool Australia also reported that earnings per share increased 30.00 percent to AUD 12.77 and return on equity reached 14.00 percent.
UBS's AUD 265.00 target is an analyst valuation rather than a company forecast. The distinction matters because Macquarie's euro quote and the target use different currencies and trading venues.
