Key numbers explained

• The current price is 26.78 AUD, down 3.7% today.
• The trailing P/E ratio of 34.3 shows how much investors pay per dollar of recent earnings; a higher figure can signal growth expectations or a richer valuation.
• The forward P/E ratio of 12.6 uses expected future earnings and is often seen as a more forward-looking gauge than the trailing P/E.
• The dividend yield of 3.66% tells you the annual dividend as a percentage of the current share price, a common way to compare income returns across stocks.
• The ex-dividend date is Sep 8, 2026 — the first trading day on which a buyer is no longer entitled to the next dividend.
• AUB pays out 119% of its earnings as dividends, meaning the dividend exceeds trailing earnings, which can be sustainable if supported by strong cash flow.
• The beta of 0.47 suggests the stock tends to move less than the overall market, often interpreted as lower volatility.
• The 52-week range of 22.08 – 40.28 shows the lowest and highest traded prices over the past year, with the current price near the lower end of that range.

What to watch

• AUB operates in the insurance broking sector, where revenue can be sensitive to changes in insurance premiums, regulatory shifts, and the broader economic cycle.
• The company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 55.4%, which measures financial leverage; investors often compare this level with peers such as Insurance Australia Group (IAG) or Macquarie Group (MQG) to gauge relative financial risk.
• Revenue growth of 5.2% year over year and a profit margin of 7.7% provide a sense of top-line expansion and bottom-line efficiency.
• The next earnings release is scheduled for Aug 25, 2026, a date that often drives short-term price movement as analysts update their expectations.
• AUB is also compared with other diversified Australian financials like WAM Leaders (WLE), Computershare (CPU), and Challenger (CGF), which can help frame its risk and return profile within the broader market.
