The latest announcement is out from FAR Ltd ( (AU:FAR) ).

FAR Limited has agreed with Woodside Energy to receive a provisional 2025 contingent payment of US$23.7 million tied to oil sales from the Sangomar project, following an initial US$11.5 million tranche received in 2025. The latest payment reflects Woodside’s reported 2025 production volumes and reduces the maximum remaining contingent amount payable to FAR to US$19.8 million.

With the expected receipt of these funds in April 2026, FAR’s board has determined that the company will hold surplus capital and plans to return approximately A$32.3 million to shareholders via a proposed capital return of 35 cents per share. The move, subject to shareholder approval at the May 2026 annual general meeting and a tax ruling to confirm the payment is not treated as a dividend, continues FAR’s strategy of distributing excess proceeds from the Sangomar asset sale to investors.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:FAR) stock is a Hold with a A$0.46 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on FAR Ltd stock, see the AU:FAR Stock Forecast page.
