Latest General Capital (NZX:GEN) News

General Capital’s 2026 Annual Shareholders Meeting saw a notable board shake-up as investors declined to re-elect Brent Douglas King, while approving a near 10% hike in directors' remuneration.

Takeover news drove the biggest share-price gains this week, while investment managers reported stronger profits and larger funds under management.

Investors also weighed dividends, capital raisings and several deals that still need shareholder or regulatory approval.

General Finance Limited has earned a credit rating upgrade to BB+ with a Stable Outlook from Equifax, reflecting robust loan book growth and strong financial discipline.

Big moves came from small and mid-cap names tied to drilling, project studies and fresh funding. Healthcare, mining and takeover stocks all had a busy week, but not every strong announcement held its gains.

Banks, fund managers and lenders drove a busy week as buy-backs, dividends, capital raisings and one big profit warning pulled prices in opposite directions. Judo Bank slumped, while AI-linked fund launches and buy-back plans helped lift selected names.

General Capital Limited posted record revenue growth of 18% to $26.76 million for FY26, driven by a 63% jump in loan receivables and a 34% rise in term deposits. The group declared a final dividend, reflecting confidence amid economic uncertainty and a positive credit rating upgrade for its finance subsidiary.

Big gains in InvestSMART met heavy selling in General Capital and Klevo as investors split between clean balance-sheet stories and names carrying extra uncertainty. Finance stocks were driven by capital returns, raisings, loan growth and a handful of governance risks.

General Capital Limited reported an 18% increase in revenue to $26.8 million for the year ended March 2026, while net profit after tax held steady at $2.7 million amid economic uncertainty and a goodwill impairment.
