Commonwealth Bank of Australia ( (AU:CBA) ) just unveiled an update.

ASB, a subsidiary of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, has reported a 1% increase in cash net profit after tax, amounting to $716 million for the half-year ending December 2024, reflecting a recovering economy. The growth is driven by increased lending volumes and favorable interest rate hedging, although offset by rising operating expenses. Despite a decline in profitability as measured by return on equity, additional shareholder investment supports ASB’s growth in New Zealand. The bank has also reduced home loan rates to aid borrowers, with a significant number of customers expected to benefit from lower rates by the year’s end.
