WAM Global Ltd. ( (AU:WGB) ) has issued an update.

WAM Global Limited reported net tangible assets before tax of 239.71 cents per share at 31 December 2025, with total assets of $860.8 million and a month-end share price of $2.47. Since its June 2018 inception, the investment portfolio has returned 9.3% per annum, trailing the MSCI World Index (AUD) return of 13.5% per annum, but the company continues to emphasise shareholder income, declaring a fully franked full-year dividend of 17.0 cents per share including a 4.0 cent special dividend, equating to a 5.3% fully franked yield and a 7.6% grossed-up yield, supported by a profits reserve of 75.1 cents per share and cumulative dividends of 70.5 cents per share (100.7 cents including franking credits) since inception. The December portfolio performance was mixed, with Synopsys contributing positively after strong FY2025 results, record backlog and strategic tailwinds from AI-related chip complexity and the Ansys acquisition, while Quanta Services detracted amid market concerns over AI-related capital spending; however, WAM Global highlighted its ongoing confidence in both businesses’ long-term growth prospects, underscoring a strategy tilted toward companies benefiting from structural themes such as AI, grid modernisation and data centre expansion.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:WGB) stock is a Buy with a A$2.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on WAM Global Ltd. stock, see the AU:WGB Stock Forecast page.
