Operating expenses rose 6% in FY2026.<\/p>\n
Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) has reported net profit after tax of $7.62b (A$10.811b) for the full-year period that ended on 30 June 2026, 8% higher than the previous year.<\/p>\n
Return on equity rose to 14% for FY2026 compared to a year earlier, according to the bank\u2019s profit announcement.<\/p>\n
Dividend is A$5.05 per share, up 4% from FY2025. Final dividend is A$2.7 per share, and the full-year dividend payout ratio is 77% of the cash net profit after tax, within CBA\u2019s target payout range of 70% to 80%.<\/p>\n
CBA\u2019s investment spend increased 6% to $1.69b (A$2.4b).<\/p>\n
Net interest margin is 2.05%, 3 basis points lower than in FY2025.<\/p>\n
Operating expenses rose 6% to $9.7b (A$13.755b) compared to a year ago, and cost-to-income ratio is 45.5%.<\/p>\n
CBA said that the higher expenses was due to inflation, investment in technology, as well as fraud, scams, and financial crime. This was partly offset by favorable foreign exchange.<\/p>\n
Loan impairment expense rose 9% to A$788m, with CBA citing portfolio growth, cost-of-living pressures, and increased risks tied to geopolitics and macroeconomic uncertainty.<\/p>\n
Home and personal loan arrears in CBA increased to 0.73% and 1.72%, respectively, the bank said.<\/p>\n
