Latest Benjamin Hornigold (ASX:BHD) News

Benjamin Hornigold will pay shareholders a fully franked special dividend of 6.2 cents per share on 18 November, following litigation updates and executed deeds of settlement. The distribution is worth more than its headline cash amount to eligible Australian shareholders because it carries full franking credits.

DGR Global led the week after a Takeovers Panel finding raised fresh questions about control and voting rights. Smaller companies also exposed fragile finances, while several funds remained suspended or faced large investment losses.

Benjamin Hornigold Limited (ASX:BHD) delivered a 9.93% portfolio return in FY2026 but still posted a $420,931 loss after $565,697 in legal fees. Two settlements worth $2.6 million were received after year-end, while an $8.97 million judgment against JB Markets was assigned no value.

The week’s biggest finance moves came from capital structure changes, fresh funding and one very large private asset revaluation. Governance fights and merger work also kept investors busy.

Benjamin Hornigold Limited's shares were suspended from trading on 15 June 2026 after the company failed to lodge its required periodic report by the ASX deadline.

The company posted a 25% increase in net loss to $709,247 for the year ended June 2025, alongside a sharp 55% drop in revenue. Key factors include significant trading losses and lower interest income, with no dividends declared.
