Westpac (ISIN AU000000WBC1) was trading at EUR 21.31 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 9:23 a.m. CEST, down 1.07 percent versus the prior close of EUR 21.54. According to Westpac, fiscal 2026 results will be announced on November 2, 2026.
Results arrive on November 2
The scheduled report will close the bank's fiscal 2026 reporting cycle, which ended on September 30, 2026. The same investor calendar also lists Westpac's annual general meeting for December 16, 2026, giving shareholders two dated events for assessing the bank's next capital and earnings signals.
Westpac's 2026 interim ordinary dividend was AUD 0.77 per share, fully franked and scheduled for payment on June 26, 2026, according to Westpac. The payment provides a concrete reference point for investors comparing income with the share price before the full-year release.
Third-quarter profit reaches AUD 1.8 billion
The latest operating update cited by The Motley Fool Australia reported statutory net profit of AUD 1.8 billion for the three-week period to June 2026, 3.00 percent above the quarterly average of the fiscal 2026 first half. Underlying net profit was also AUD 1.8 billion, 2.00 percent above that first-half average.
The update also showed lending growth of 2.00 percent, with business lending up 4.00 percent, institutional lending up 3.00 percent and housing lending up 2.00 percent. That mix matters for the November report because mortgage competition and deposit pricing can affect the bank's net interest margin even when total lending expands.
Stock stays below its prior close
Westpac's market capitalization was AUD 116.9 billion on October 7, 2026, while the 52-week range stood at AUD 33.46 to AUD 43.32 on the primary ASX listing. The Lang & Schwarz euro quote was therefore down 1.07 percent against its EUR 21.54 prior close at 9:23 a.m. CEST, a dated market comparison ahead of the results announcement.
