Our Commentary: Updated 13th February 2013

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia released its 1H13 results, reporting a profit of $3.66 billion – up a measly 1% from a year earlier. However, cash profit jumped 6% to $3.78 billion, beating analysts’ forecasts.

CEO, Mr. Ian Narev, said that, “this is a strong result, which continues to demonstrate the benefits of the Group’s consistent, long-term strategy.”

The performance was attributed to growth in its domestic banking and wholesale businesses. The firm announced that it will distribute a fully franked interim dividend of $1.64 per share, 20% higher than the prior corresponding period, on 5 April 2013.
