Under the leadership of new CEO Nuno Matos, ANZ has put forward a refreshed strategic agenda for the next five years. With a heavy focus on simplification and cost-out, ANZ 2030 offers little in terms of innovation or delivery of meaningful competitive advantages. Matos is certainly not lacking in confidence, and the market at this stage appears willing to back his plan.

Australia's ANZ Group will stop the remaining A$800 million ($520 million) of its share buyback, as newly appointed CEO Nuno Matos moves to preserve more cash and shifts focus to a bold reset of the bank's growth strategy.
Australia's Finance Sector Union said on Monday it was filing a dispute with the Fair Work Commission, seeking urgent intervention over ANZ Group's plans to cut 3,500 jobs, citing inadequate consultation with affected workers.
Australian job advertisements were steady in August, highlighting a still resilient labour market amid lower interest rates, while a bounce in retail hiring was expected to persist into coming months.
Australian job advertisements fell in July, dragged down by the education and retail sectors, but that only partly offset the rise in the previous month and suggested the labour market is easing gradually.
Australian job advertisements fell for a second successive month in May in a sign that the tight labour market may be slowly easing, though the number remained well above pre-pandemic levels.
ANZ Group has been one of the weaker performers among the Big Four Australian banks since my last update back in 2022. Interest margins and technology-driven costs have weighed on its efficiency, driving a circa 330bps expansion in its consolidated cost/income ratio in that time. As a result of this, ANZ is now the cheapest of the Big Four, trading at a significant discount on price-to-net-tangible-assets, price-to-earnings and dividend yield.
