Owners of ANZ Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: ANZ) shares can look forward to a few particular days over the rest of 2024.
Day to day, the ANZ share price is usually affected by external market events and general investor sentiment.
But, there are a few days over the year when ANZ makes an announcement that can really move its own shares.
There are the results announcements, the quarterly updates, and the dividend payments. We've only seen ANZ's half-year report so far in 2024; the upcoming dates may be even more important.
Essential upcoming dates for ANZ shares
The bank recently announced to the ASX when it's expecting to reveal its financial numbers.
The next planned update is the June 2024 quarter APRS330 pillar 3 disclosure scheduled for Tuesday, 20 August 2024. Investors may learn here how ANZ's loans and deposits have grown, as well as an update about the provisions and credit quality.
After that, ANZ plans to report its FY24 full-year result on Friday, 8 November 2024. The broker UBS predicts ANZ could generate net profit after tax (NPAT) of $7 billion. The ASX bank share is also predicted to generate $20.9 billion in revenue, $9.9 billion in pre-tax net profit, and $2.29 in earnings per share (EPS).
The estimate on Commsec suggests ANZ could pay an annual dividend per share of $1.66 in FY24.
Owners of ANZ shares probably want to know about their next payday. ANZ plans to pay its FY24 final dividend on 20 December 2024, though we don't know what the payment will be yet until the board decides on a figure and the ASX bank share announces it.
The ASX bank share expects to hold its annual general meeting (AGM) on 19 December 2024, where the leadership will talk about last year's performance, what the bank is working on and the outlook. Shareholders also get the opportunity to vote on certain matters.
ANZ also recently announced that its FY25 half-year result will be released on Thursday, 8 May 2025. At this stage, UBS predicts that ANZ could generate $7.3 billion of profit in FY25, representing an increase of around $300 million.
Redemption of $1.75 billion of notes
ANZ also announced today it will redeem its wholesale A$1.75 billion floating rate subordinated notes on the optional redemption date of 26 July 2024. These notes were due on 26 July 2029.
APRA has provided its written approval for ANZ to redeem the notes.
