Inghams Group Limited (ASX:ING) returned to poultry volume growth in FY26, but rising costs, a tax dispute and weaker earnings sharply reduced shareholder returns. The company enters FY27 with lower net debt, elevated leverage and a value-led turnaround strategy still to prove itself.

The Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund reported a 38% FY26 total unit-holder return, supported by a $2.73 per-unit cash distribution after Fonterra’s Mainland divestment. Reported revenue fell 27% to NZ$287 million, reflecting the Fund’s passive structure and fair-value accounting rather than an operating loss.
