May 25, 2026, 3:52 PM EDT. Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) shares rebounded 7.11% from a 10.4% drop post-Federal Budget, closing at $164.60. Despite a 5% decline over the past year, CBA remains Australia's dominant retail bank with strong Q3 FY 2026 results: $2.7 billion net profit, up 4%, robust $45 billion home loan funding, and $38 billion in household deposit growth. The bank maintains a solid risk profile with strong capital levels and a fully franked $2.35 interim dividend. Market observers suggest CBA shares could recover further as sentiment stabilizes after concerns over the Federal Budget's housing impacts.
