Which ASX 200 financial stocks will report earnings next week?
Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA)
The CBA share price hit another record high of $162.98 per share on Friday.
CBA shares will be on watch when Australia's biggest bank reports its 1H FY25 earnings next Wednesday, 12 February. CBA will also announce its interim dividend for FY25.
The key metrics to look for will be CBA's net profit after tax (NPAT) and net interest margin (NIM).
In its previous full-year results for FY24, CBA reported a 2% decline in cash NPAT to $9,836 million. Its NIM fell 8 basis points to 1.99%.
CBA is not only the biggest ASX 200 financial stock by market capitalisation, it's also the biggest share in the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO).
This means any large daily moves in the CBA share price can have implications for the broader market.
We'll just have to see how investors and analysts react to CBA's numbers on Wednesday.
Macquarie Group Ltd (ASX: MQG)
The Macquarie share price is $230.45, down 0.45%, in late trading on Friday.
The investment banking giant will provide a third-quarter update next Tuesday, 11 February.
AMP Ltd (ASX: AMP)
The AMP share price is $1.72, down 2.44% at the time of writing.
Earlier in the week, the ASX 200 financial stock hit a new 52-week high of $1.79.
Investors will be watching the AMP share price on Friday, 14 February, when the financial services company reports its full-year FY24 results and final dividend.
Top broker UBS has made several predictions regarding the ASX 200 financial stock's upcoming report. Check them out here.
Insurance Australia Group Ltd (ASX: IAG)
General insurance giant IAG is due to report its 1H FY25 results on Thursday, 13 February.
Top broker Macquarie is tipping a 'strong' first-half result for the insurance major.
IAG will also announce its interim dividend for FY25 on Thursday. Investors will no doubt be hoping for another increase this year after IAG increased its dividend in 2024 by 80%.
Suncorp Group Ltd (ASX: SUN)
Fellow general insurer Suncorp will report its 1H FY25 earnings on Wednesday, 12 February.
Suncorp will also announce its interim dividend for FY25.
Morgan Stanley analyst Andrei Stadnik expects this ASX 200 financial stock to return more than $7 billion to shareholders over several years.
This may be through special dividends or buybacks, and partly funded by proceeds from the sale of Suncorp's banking division to ANZ Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: ANZ).
