Aurizon stock heads toward its October 22 AGM as FY2026 profit rose 24 percent

Aurizon (ISIN AU000000AZJ1) was trading at AUD 3.69 on the ASX on October 7, 2026 at 9:31 a.m. AEDT, as shareholders head toward the company's October 22 annual meeting. According to Aurizon, the AGM will be held on October 22, 2026.

FY2026 profit sets the backdrop

Underlying net profit after tax rose 24 percent to AUD 433 million in fiscal year 2026, while underlying EBITDA increased 9 percent to AUD 1.724 billion. Kapitales Research reported that the figures covered the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, with revenue up 6 percent to AUD 4.194 billion.

The operating mix matters for the AGM discussion. Network EBITDA increased 8 percent, Coal EBITDA grew 2 percent and Bulk EBITDA surged 38 percent in fiscal year 2026, according to Kapitales Research.

Consensus stays close to the market

The analyst backdrop is more restrained than the earnings growth. Markets Insider said on October 2, 2026 that consensus was Hold, based on an average target of AUD 3.67, implying 1.18 percent downside from the quoted market level. The same report said RBC Capital maintained Hold with an AUD 3.60 target in research dated September 30, 2026.

That gap leaves the AGM as the next scheduled checkpoint for capital allocation and operating priorities. Aurizon's investor page identifies the company as Australia's largest rail-based transport business and says it moves more than 250 million tonnes of Australian commodities each year.

ASX price remains below yearly high

Aurizon's market capitalization was AUD 6.2 billion on October 7, 2026, with 730,927 shares traded. The stock's 52-week range was AUD 3.19 to AUD 4.42, placing the AUD 3.69 quote 16.52 percent below the yearly high.

Aurizon was last at AUD 3.69 on the ASX on October 7, 2026 at 9:31 a.m. AEDT, down 0.54 percent from AUD 3.71.
