Most Popular Narrative: 20.9% Overvalued

The latest narrative fair value for ANZ Group Holdings of A$32.18 sits below the last close at A$38.89. That gap has sharpened investor focus on the assumptions behind the story.

At A$32.162 per share, ANZ (ASX: ANZ) appears reasonably valued based on its current operating performance. Cash earnings per share were 126.1 cents for the six months to 31 March 2026; annualising this figure implies approximately 252 cents per share and a price-to-earnings multiple of around 12.8 times. The most recent 83 cent interim dividend, together with the preceding 83 cent final dividend, represents a trailing cash yield of approximately 5.2% at the assessed price, before considering the partial franking credits.
