Westpac's fiscal 2026 cash profit of AUD 7 billion was flat on fiscal 2025. Loan growth of 5% and a 1% fall in operating expenses were offset by a 7-basis-point decline in net interest margins and loan impairment expenses doubling from cyclical lows.
A higher cash rate environment benefits customer deposit-funded banks by supporting margin expansion and higher returns on equity.
Slow core earnings growth returns due to low loan growth, margin compression, subdued wealth and market income, and lower banking fee income.
