WAM Alternative Assets Ltd ( (AU:WMA) ) has issued an announcement.
WAM Alternative Assets has raised its interim dividend to 3.0 cents per share, partially franked at 60%, up from 2.7 cents, implying an annualised yield of 5.9% and 7.4% on a grossed-up basis, while signalling that the FY2026 final dividend is expected to be at least the same level with similar franking. The board highlighted constraints on franking credit generation tied to realisation of unlisted growth assets and warned that future payouts could be only partially franked or unfranked if tax-paid profits do not materialise.
For the half-year to 31 December 2025, total shareholder return reached 9.4%, or 10.8% including franking, supported by a 4.9% uplift in the investment portfolio, strong private equity revaluations, steady inflation-linked infrastructure income and a narrowing discount to net tangible assets. The company reported operating profit after tax of $6.5 million, underscored upside in its Australian water investments amid tightening supply and rising prices, and noted its treasury tool has roughly doubled returns versus holding cash while maintaining diversification from traditional equities.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:WMA) stock is a Hold with a A$1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on WAM Alternative Assets Ltd stock, see the AU:WMA Stock Forecast page.
