Ansell stock (ISIN AU000000ANN9) was last at AUD 45.10 on the ASX on October 8, 2026, down AUD 0.40 or 0.88 percent from the prior close. The price sits 1.74 percent below the 52-week high of AUD 45.90, giving investors a clear valuation checkpoint after a strong run.
Hold target stays below price
Ord Minnett maintained a Hold rating on October 4, 2026, and set a price target of AUD 40.00, according to Markets Insider. That target is AUD 5.10 below the October 8 price, placing the latest analyst stance on the cautious side of the current market valuation.
The broader picture is similarly restrained. Investing.com lists a Neutral consensus from 11 analysts and an average 12-month target of AUD 40.01, below the ASX price of AUD 45.10.
Revenue and profit accelerate
Ansell's operating figures provide the counterweight to the valuation gap. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, revenue reached AUD 1.10 billion, up from AUD 1.02 billion a year earlier, while net profit rose to AUD 118.09 million from AUD 48.30 million, according to Markets Insider. The revenue increase was AUD 80.00 million, while the profit increase was AUD 69.79 million.
Those numbers matter because the latest share price already stands near the yearly peak. Ansell's market capitalization is AUD 6.3 billion, and trading volume reached 390,921 shares on October 8, 2026. The stock's 52-week range runs from AUD 25.05 to AUD 45.90, so the current price is 80.0 percent above the low and close to the upper boundary.
Annual meeting set for November
The next scheduled corporate date is Ansell's annual general meeting on November 9, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. The meeting gives shareholders a near-term governance checkpoint while the market weighs robust profit growth against analyst targets below the prevailing quotation.
