ANZ Now Needs to Drive Mortgage Revenue Growth -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-04

2338 GMT - ANZ now needs to show it can restore mortgage-led revenue growth without sacrificing margins or returns, Jefferies analyst Andrew Lyons says. Lyons tells clients in a note that the Australian lender is executing strongly on costs but must show over the remainder of FY 2026 that it can grow home loans at the same pace as the overall market. "Housing growth is showing early signs of recovering toward system but has required pricing investment," Lyons writes, warning of the pressure this will put on net interest margin. Jefferies cuts its target price by 0.8% to A$33.98/share and keeps a hold rating on the stock, which is at A$35.61 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
