WAM Global Ltd. ( (AU:WGB) ) has provided an announcement.

WAM Global Limited reported a sharp reversal in performance for the half year ended 31 December 2025, posting revenue from ordinary activities of negative $9.1 million and a net loss after tax of $11.1 million, compared with a profit in the prior corresponding period. Net tangible asset backing per share also declined year-on-year, with before-tax NTA falling to $2.40 and after-tax NTA to $2.42, reflecting weaker portfolio returns and marking a more challenging trading environment for investors.

Despite the loss, the board declared a fully franked interim dividend of 6.6 cents per share for 2026, slightly higher than the prior final dividend, and confirmed that the dividend reinvestment plan will operate without a discount. The decision to maintain and modestly increase shareholder distributions, supported by fully franked credits, signals a continued focus on income for investors even as portfolio performance softens and asset backing eases, which may reassure income-focused shareholders while highlighting near-term pressure on returns.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:WGB) stock is a Buy with a A$3.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on WAM Global Ltd. stock, see the AU:WGB Stock Forecast page.
