ANZ releases results – and they’re very good.
Final big four member to release results is optimistic for 2021
Yesterday Westpac released its (very healthy) figures – today ANZ has reported a profit jump, recording an unaudited cash profit of $1.81 billion – a huge leap of 54% from the average of the last two quarters of last year, and a whopping 154% improvement over the first two quarters of the year.
ANZ is also optimistic for what remains of 2021, and has written back nearly $173 million of bad debt provisions.
ANZ now only has 15,000 home loans that still have COVID deferrals, down to just 16% of the 96,000 the bank faced during the worst of the pandemic’s wave of mortgage deferrals.
How the big 4 stack up so far (Cash profit, A$ billions)
Commonwealth Bank $3.89
Westpac $1.97
ANZ $1.81
