What recent numbers show
ANZ reported its half-year 2024 cash profit from continuing operations of around AUD 3.5 billion in early May, broadly in line with market expectations according to the bank's results presentation. The ANZ results center outlines the detailed figures. The group also announced an interim dividend of AUD 0.83 per share, maintaining a robust payout profile compared with Australian peers.
Management highlighted stable net interest margins despite competition in home loans, supported by deposit repricing and disciplined cost control in the Australia retail and commercial franchise. Capital ratios remained comfortably above regulatory minimums, underpinning the bank's ability to keep distributing capital while funding growth.
Thursday focus on chart and peers
On Thursday, ANZ shares continue to trade near recent 12-month highs on the Australian Securities Exchange, reflecting both the solid half-year profit and the May dividend. Chart data from major financial portals show the stock trading above its 200-day moving average, suggesting a technically firm trend. MarketWatch data provide the latest daily chart and key moving averages.
Against other members of Australia's big four banks, ANZ's valuation in terms of price-to-book and dividend yield sits in a mid-range band. That means the stock is neither the clear outlier on premium valuation nor the deepest value play in the sector, but a core exposure to the domestic banking cycle.
The business behind the stock
ANZ generates most of its earnings from retail and commercial banking in Australia and New Zealand, spanning mortgages, small-business lending, transaction accounts and deposits. It also operates institutional banking, trade finance and markets activities, with a particular focus on Asia-Pacific trade corridors.
