Star Entertainment Deepens Half-Year Loss, Scraps Interim Dividend

Star Entertainment Group Limited ( (AU:SGR) ) has issued an announcement.

The Star Entertainment Group reported a statutory net loss after tax of $109.7 million for the half year ended 31 December 2025, a 63.7% deeper loss than the prior corresponding period, despite a 4.1% fall in revenue to $694.6 million. Normalised revenue fell 10% to $584.9 million and the group recorded a $40 million loss before interest, tax and significant items, while net finance costs surged 90.9% and no interim dividend was declared, leaving net tangible asset backing at $0.07 per share, down from $0.15, underscoring ongoing balance sheet pressure for shareholders.

Significant items, including redundancy and employment costs, debt refinancing, joint venture transaction expenses and regulatory-related fines and provisions, totalled $34 million after tax and further weighed on statutory results. The worsening losses, coupled with the suspension of the interim dividend and reduced asset backing, highlight continuing operational and regulatory challenges for the casino operator and signal limited near-term returns for investors as the company navigates its remediation and cost burden.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:SGR) stock is a Hold with a A$0.13 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Star Entertainment Group Limited stock, see the AU:SGR Stock Forecast page.
