ANZ Group Holdings (ISIN AU000000ANZ3) started a competitive external-audit tender on October 2, 2026, after KPMG had provided the service since 1969, a 57-year tenure, according to ANZ. The change comes as the bank integrates Suncorp Bank and targets completion of the tender by April 2027.

ANZ stock meets a 57-year change

ANZ trades on the ASX under ticker ANZ.AX, according to Global Banking and Finance Review. The same listing identifies the company with ISIN AU000000ANZ3, confirming the requested security.

Investing.com lists 14 analysts covering ANZ, with six Buy, six Hold and two Sell ratings. The page gives an average 12-month target of AUD 36.56, below its AUD 37.24 ASX quote on October 9, 2026, while the Lang & Schwarz price is a separate euro reference.

What does the audit change mean?

The immediate effect is a longer governance timetable rather than a change to earnings guidance. ANZ said the new audit provider is expected to begin in fiscal year 2029, and shareholders are due to vote on the appointment at the 2028 annual general meeting, according to ANZ.

Third-quarter income slipped 1.00 percent

For the third quarter of 2026, operating income declined 1.00 percent year over year to AUD 5.61 billion from AUD 5.66 billion, while net interest margin rose to 1.54 percent from the first-half average of 1.53 percent, according to Bondsupermart. Customer deposits increased 1.00 percent year over year to AUD 786 billion, while net loans remained AUD 846 billion.

ANZ's June quarter followed cash profit of AUD 1.90 billion in the first half of 2026, up 1.00 percent against the first-half quarterly average, and cost savings had reached 73.00 percent of the AUD 800 million fiscal 2026 target by August, according to Motley Fool Australia.

Next dates are November and December

InvestPane lists November 9, 2026, as ANZ's next earnings date, while an ASX financial-services calendar lists the annual general meeting for December 17, 2026. The two dates frame the next results and governance checkpoints for the bank.
