Citi maintained a Buy rating for Telstra and set an AUD 5.25 price target on October 21, 2026, according to The Globe and Mail. The target gives investors a fresh benchmark alongside Telstra's latest full-year figures. At Lang & Schwarz, Telstra stock was trading at EUR 3.03 on October 22, 2026 at 8:59 p.m. CEST.

Profit growth supports the target

Telstra reported fiscal 2026 net profit after tax of AUD 2.40 billion, up 2.70 percent, while earnings per share increased 5.30 percent to AUD 0.199. The figures were published on October 13, 2026, by RTTNews.

Underlying EBITDA rose 4.00 percent to AUD 8.30 billion in fiscal 2026, and cash earnings per share increased 14.00 percent to AUD 0.255. Telstra also lifted its cash dividend by 10.50 percent to AUD 0.21 per share for the year. These figures place the analyst target against stronger operating earnings and higher shareholder distributions.

Price position and valuation

Telstra's ASX quote stood at AUD 4.86 on October 22, 2026 at 5:20 a.m. CEST after the Australian session. The 52-week range was AUD 4.56 to AUD 5.58, and market capitalization stood at AUD 53.9 billion. The price-to-earnings ratio was 24.46 and the trailing dividend yield was 4.00 percent.

The valuation picture is closely tied to cash generation. At the October 14, 2026 annual meeting, Telstra's underlying EBITDAAL reached AUD 8.30 billion, up 4.00 percent, while underlying net profit rose 4.90 percent to AUD 2.50 billion, according to Quartr. The same review put return on invested capital at 9.00 percent on an underlying basis.

What the AUD 5.25 target means

Citi's target sits above the ASX price of AUD 4.86, while Macquarie's separate Hold view and AUD 5.02 target show that broker opinions remain differentiated. The current figures therefore leave the stock between a cautious target and a more optimistic one, with the fiscal 2026 dividend increase adding a measurable income component.
