Bank of Queensland stock (ISIN AU000000BOQ8) was trading at AUD 6.39 on ASX on October 8, 2026 at 1:13 p.m. AEDT, up 0.31 percent from the prior close of AUD 6.37. The more important valuation signal is the 14-analyst consensus, which carries a Sell rating and an average 12-month target of AUD 6.27.

Analysts see AUD 6.27

According to Investing.com, the consensus covers 14 analysts, with 1 Buy, 7 Hold and 6 Sell recommendations. The average target of AUD 6.27 places the target 1.88 percent below the October 8 price, while the published high and low targets are AUD 7.20 and AUD 5.50.

The valuation gap matters because BOQ enters its next results update after weaker first-half earnings. The consensus label is not a single broker call, but it still gives investors a quantified benchmark ahead of the full-year figures.

Half-year profit fell 20 percent

The Motley Fool Australia reported that BOQ half-year cash earnings fell 4 percent to AUD 176 million, while statutory net profit dropped 20 percent to AUD 136 million. Operating expenses increased 6 percent to AUD 553 million, and the bank flagged a AUD 47 million pre-tax impairment charge for technology and other assets affecting fiscal 2026 statutory results.

The operating mix provided some offset: net interest margin improved to 1.67 percent from 1.57 percent a year earlier, while commercial lending balances increased 16 percent. The earnings picture therefore combines margin improvement with higher expenses and a material one-off charge.

Results date is October 15

Bank of Queensland's next major checkpoint is fiscal 2026 reporting. FinScry lists October 15, 2026 as the date for the full-year results, with a market briefing scheduled for 10:00 a.m. AEDT.

That release should put the AUD 176 million first-half cash earnings figure, the AUD 136 million statutory profit and the AUD 47 million impairment into a full-year context. It will also give the market a fresh basis for judging whether the AUD 6.27 consensus target reflects the bank's earnings trajectory.

BOQ stock stays below its yearly high

BOQ stock was trading at AUD 6.39 on ASX on October 8, 2026 at 1:13 p.m. AEDT, with a 52-week range of AUD 5.91 to AUD 7.48 and market capitalization of AUD 4.2 billion. Trading volume stood at 1,296,261 shares, making the consensus discount and the upcoming results date the clearest reference points for the next market reaction.
