Salter Brothers Emerging Companies reported a pre-tax net tangible asset (NTA) of $1.046 per share and post-tax NTA of $1.071 as at 31 December 2025, with total dividends of 4 cents per share and an annualised yield of 5.44%.

The manager highlighted a higher-conviction portfolio tilt, with 81.2% in listed securities and 16.9% in unlisted positions, and pointed to specific stock dynamics including a sharp re-rating in Symal Group following accretive acquisitions and new funding, operational improvements and a strategic investment in Camplify Holdings, and a contract win and expected cash flow improvement at telematics group Eroad despite recent share price weakness. Portfolio valuation metrics suggest improving growth and profitability across FY26–FY27, with forecast rising revenue, expanding margins and lower earnings multiples across the listed portfolio.
