The latest announcement is out from Computershare Limited ( (AU:CPU) ).
Computershare reported first-half FY26 results broadly in line with its strategic plan, with management revenue and EPS both rising 3.9% and return on invested capital exceeding 36%. Excluding margin income, revenue grew 7.2% and EBIT 12%, expanding EBIT margins to 16% as operating costs rose below inflation and recurring client-paid fees increased about 5% on the back of new business wins.
Event and transaction revenues rebounded 12.9% amid higher corporate action and employee share plan activity, while margin income slipped 5.4% as lower interest rates were largely offset by a natural hedge, stronger activity and higher client balances. A robust balance sheet with leverage reduced to 0.3x allowed the board to lift the interim dividend by 22.2%, as Issuer Services, Corporate Trust and Employee Share Plans all delivered solid growth and Computershare upgraded FY26 EPS guidance to around 144 cps, up about 6%.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:CPU) stock is a Hold with a A$33.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Computershare Limited stock, see the AU:CPU Stock Forecast page.
