The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) remains the country’s largest bank, holding over 20% of the mortgage market, more than 25% of credit‑card business and a similar share of personal loans. Analysts note that CBA’s net interest margin of 1.99% exceeds the ASX banking sector average of 1.78%, and its workplace‑culture rating of 3.4 out of 5 is above the sector’s 3.1.
At a share price of about A$178.66, a A$10,000 investment would purchase roughly 56 shares. CBA paid an interim fully‑franked dividend of A$2.35 per share in March and is forecast to deliver a total dividend of A$5.15 per share in FY26 and A$5.45 per share in FY27. Those payouts correspond to forward dividend yields of about 2.9% for FY26 and 3% for FY27, translating to an estimated passive income of around A$288 in FY26 and A$305 in FY27 for the A$10,000 stake.
