An update from Macquarie Group Limited ( (AU:MQG) ) is now available.

Macquarie Group reported satisfactory trading conditions for the third quarter of FY26, with all four operating divisions posting net profit contributions up on the prior corresponding period. Asset Management earnings surged on gains from the sale of its North American and European public investments business, while Banking and Financial Services benefited from growth in loans and deposits despite margin pressure.

Commodities and Global Markets delivered substantially higher profit driven by stronger asset finance income, and Macquarie Capital recorded higher investment-related income from asset realisations and its expanding private credit portfolio. The group maintained a strong regulatory capital and liquidity position, supporting a cautious but confident outlook as it continues investing in its operating platform and positions for medium-term growth amid volatile global economic and regulatory conditions.
