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

WAM Capital reported a pre-tax net tangible asset backing of 150.13 cents per share at 31 December 2025, or 149.07 cents after tax, reflecting a $12 million tax payment during the month and a net current and deferred tax asset position of 11.96 cents per share. The company highlighted an FY25 full-year dividend of 15.5 cents per share, 60% franked, equating to an 8.6% dividend yield and 10.8% grossed-up yield based on the year-end share price, underpinned by a profits reserve of 21.1 cents per share and cumulative dividends of 331.5 cents per share since inception. WAM Capital noted that its portfolio performance since inception in 1999 has returned 15.3% per annum versus 8.6% for the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index, although the portfolio declined in December, with Maas Group Holdings contributing positively after securing a major electrical infrastructure contract in the AI-focused digital infrastructure market, while Tasmea detracted despite completing an earnings-accretive acquisition of WorkPac Group, which WAM believes positions it well for labour demand linked to the Brisbane Olympics and a supportive commodities backdrop.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:WAM) stock is a Buy with a A$2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on WAM Capital Ltd. stock, see the AU:WAM Stock Forecast page.
