  "account": "Australia and New Zealand Banking Group reported a substantial increase in second-half 2026 profit, driven by its ANZ 2030 strategy. The lender saw a 23% rise in statutory profit and a 10% increase in cash profit to AUD 7.6 billion, with earnings per share climbing 30% to AUD 2.53. ANZ also raised its final dividend, citing improving cost and capital metrics. The bank's shares remained relatively stable at $27.71, near the top of their 52-week range, and were deemed undervalued by InvestingPro analysis. ANZ's performance was broad-based, with revenue up 3% on a constant-currency basis and a strong deposit base. The bank remains on track with its transformation, including Suncorp Bank integration and digital advancements, while keeping FY 2027 guidance steady.",
