Latest Dividend News

Walter Scott Global Equity Fund’s operating profit fell to A$4.1 million in 2026 from A$349.5 million, while net assets dropped by about A$1.1 billion. The audited report points to weaker investment gains and substantial redemptions, although the fund remained fully invested in quoted equities and received an unmodified audit opinion.

Macquarie Core Global Equity Fund (ASX:MQE) reported a sharp rise in FY2026 operating profit as net assets more than tripled and the portfolio expanded. The result reflects both substantial new applications and investment gains, rather than investment performance alone.

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.

Jupiter Mines delivered above-target production and sales at its Tshipi manganese mine in FY26, but higher costs and a stronger South African rand pulled group profit lower. The year also brought a new majority co-investor, a leadership transition and fresh questions around the mine’s resource and reserve base.

Gullewa’s full-year profit fell sharply despite a $2.98 million royalty stream from the Deflector Project. The company is expanding its property and gold exposure while maintaining a fully franked dividend of 0.7 cents per share.

The Warehouse Group (NZX:WHS) returned to profit in FY26 and cut net debt by more than 80%, despite broadly flat comparable sales. The recovery came with a clear catch: The Warehouse brand remains loss-making and shareholders will receive no final dividend.

Mamba Exploration cut its FY2026 loss sharply and ended the year with A$1.19 million in cash after acquiring 70% of the Meeka East Gold Project. But the annual report says additional debt or equity funding is required to sustain exploration, creating a clear financial test for the new Western Australian strategy.

Ten Cap Alpha Plus Fund swung to a $53.5 million operating loss in FY2026 as every unit class lagged the S&P/ASX 200 benchmark. Net assets fell to $1.38 billion, while its new TCAP active ETF completed its first partial year on the ASX.

Beacon Minerals has reported a sharp FY2026 recovery, underpinned by higher gold revenue, Lady Ida production and a substantial increase in the Iguana Ore Reserve. The headline profit includes a sizeable asset-sale gain, leaving the next test focused on recurring mine performance.

Omnia Metals has shifted its exploration focus to US antimony, silver, rare earths and gallium projects, backed by $3.1 million in equity raisings. Early Montana sampling produced follow-up targets, but the company remains loss-making and says the results are reconnaissance-scale rather than evidence of a resource.

Duxton Farms has warned of a material uncertainty around its ability to continue as a going concern after a merger-driven loss, sharply higher borrowings and heavy cash outflows. The agricultural group is relying on asset sales, cost reductions and fresh funding while it tries to shift from mature broadacre assets into longer-dated development projects.

ASF Group strengthened its balance sheet in FY2026 by selling non-core investments and subsidiaries, lifting cash to A$5.19 million and eliminating borrowings. Profit attributable to shareholders fell sharply as the prior year benefited from a one-off gain, leaving the investment group reliant on future portfolio realisations and development projects.
