what happened
Australian lender ANZ Group posted a 31% increase in annual profit for the year ended September 30, Reuters reported. The bank credited better management of margins, capital and costs, along with growth in its business.
ANZ recorded cash profit of A$7.59 billion ($5.21 billion), slightly above the Visible Alpha consensus of A$7.55 billion and well up from A$5.79 billion a year earlier. The bank is Australia's fourth-largest lender by market capitalisation.
why it matters
The result matched market expectations, so it offered little surprise to investors. For ANZ shares and other large Australian banks, the next focus will be margins, loan quality and guidance, which will shape sector performance and the Australian dollar's direction.
