Ampol profit mix shifts as underlying earnings surge despite revenue fall

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Ampol Limited ( (AU:ALD) ) just unveiled an update.

Ampol Limited reported a 10.1% decline in revenue from ordinary activities to $31.37 billion for the year to 31 December 2025, while statutory profit after tax attributable to shareholders fell 32.7% to $82.4 million. However, on a replacement cost basis excluding significant items, profit surged 82.8% to $429.2 million, lifting return on equity on this measure to 12.4% and prompting the board to declare a fully franked final dividend of 60 cents per share despite the weaker statutory result.

The company’s net tangible asset backing per share edged up to $7.66 from $7.49, indicating a modest strengthening of the balance sheet. The contrasting trends between statutory earnings and replacement cost operating profit highlight the impact of oil price and inventory movements on headline results and underscore Ampol’s focus on underlying performance for assessing returns to shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:ALD) stock is a Buy with a A$36.80 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ampol Limited stock, see the AU:ALD Stock Forecast page.
