Westpac stock (ISIN AU000000WBC1) was trading at EUR 21.01 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 11:01 a.m. CEST, down 1.36 percent from the EUR 21.30 prior close. Westpac's fiscal 2026 results are scheduled for November 2, 2026, according to Westpac.

Results date sets the next marker

The November reporting date matters because the bank is approaching the end of its fiscal 2026 year, while investors are weighing earnings growth against margin pressure. The scheduled release is a dated event rather than a reported result, so the next material test will be whether operating performance supports the valuation already reflected in the share price.

First-half revenue rose 2.90 percent

In first-half 2026, Westpac reported revenue of AUD 10.90 billion, up 2.90 percent from first-half 2025, according to Simply Wall St. Net income also reached AUD 3.41 billion, a 2.90 percent year-over-year increase, while earnings per share rose to AUD 1.00 from AUD 0.97. The reported profit margin was 31.00 percent, unchanged from the comparable period.

That combination gives the November results a clear numerical benchmark: revenue and net income must extend the 2.90 percent first-half growth rate, while the 31.00 percent margin shows how much profitability has been preserved. Simply Wall St also reported that first-half revenue and earnings per share were in line with analyst expectations.

Stock remains near its yearly low

Westpac had an AUD 115.1 billion market capitalization as of October 8, 2026. Its primary-exchange reference range was AUD 33.46 to AUD 43.32 over 52 weeks, placing the stock near the lower end of that interval while the euro quote remained below its prior close.

The market picture therefore combines a scheduled earnings date with moderate first-half growth and a wide gap between the 52-week low and high. For investors, the November report will provide the next quantified check on revenue, earnings per share and margin resilience.
