â–²(31.63% Upside)
Action:Downgraded
Date:05/14/26
The score is held back primarily by uneven cash generation and structurally high leverage despite solid profitability. Support comes from constructive technical uptrend indicators and a positive earnings-call read (strong profit growth and capital position), while valuation appears reasonable rather than clearly cheap.
Positive Factors
Strong profitability & ROE
Macquarie’s 30% rise in net profit and a ~14% ROE demonstrate durable earnings generation across diversified businesses. Consistent profitability supports internal capital generation for dividends, reinvestment and realizations, enabling sustained deployment into high‑return opportunities.
Negative Factors
High leverage / balance-sheet risk
Elevated debt‑to‑equity reflects a capital‑markets model that magnifies returns but materially raises sensitivity to funding costs and market shocks. High leverage constrains financial flexibility, increases regulatory and refinancing risk, and limits the firm’s ability to expand the balance sheet in stress periods.

Macquarie Group Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 07, 2026
(Q4-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Nov 06, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call communicated a robust operating performance across all four operating groups, highlighted by a 30% increase in net profit, double‑digit revenue growth, strong deposit and loan growth, meaningful realizations and rising performance fees. Management also emphasized a strong capital position (capital surplus up to $9.3 billion, CET1 12.8%), disciplined cost control and continued strategic investment in technology and compliance. Offsetting these positives were higher credit and other impairment charges (mostly in H2), increased regulatory capital usage (particularly in CGM), costs associated with remediation and transactional activity, and uncertainty that could moderate client activity and transactional velocity. Overall, the positives—substantial profit and revenue growth, diversified global income, balance sheet strength and continued deployment of capital into high‑return areas—outweigh the contained but notable headwinds and risks identified.Positive Updates
Strong Group Profit & Return on Equity
Net profit after tax of $4.847 billion, up 30% year‑on‑year; return on equity 14%, up ~25% from just over 11% in the prior year.
Negative Updates
Higher Credit Impairment Charges
Credit impairment charge of $478 million for the year, with $461 million booked in the second half, reflecting increased modeled provisions and macroeconomic uncertainty despite resilient actual credit performance.
