WAM Strategic Value lifts dividend as portfolio outperforms on narrowing discounts

WAM Strategic Value Ltd ( (AU:WAR) ) has provided an announcement.

WAM Strategic Value reported that its investment portfolio rose in January 2026, beating the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index, with pre-tax net tangible assets at $1.51 per share and total assets of $246.5 million. The company increased its fully franked full-year dividend by 14.3% to 6.0 cents per share, supporting an attractive fully franked and grossed-up dividend yield backed by a profits reserve of 23.0 cents per share.

Performance was driven by strong gains in CD Private Equity Fund II and Regal Partners Global Investments, both trading at narrowing discounts to net asset value. CD Private Equity Fund II announced a major asset exit and a 38 cent per unit distribution that pushed its price sharply higher, while Regal Partners Global Investments delivered robust share price gains ahead of NTA growth, allowing WAM Strategic Value shareholders to benefit from both portfolio appreciation and improving market sentiment in discounted listed vehicles.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:WAR) stock is a Buy with a A$1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on WAM Strategic Value Ltd stock, see the AU:WAR Stock Forecast page.
