The latest update is out from Whitefield Ltd ( (AU:WHF) ).
Whitefield Industrials reported a preliminary, unaudited net profit after tax of $21.1 million for the year to 31 March 2026, equivalent to earnings of 17.5 cents per share, amid a backdrop of global trade disruption, military tensions and rapid technological change. Investment revenue dipped 3% as portfolio changes reduced exposure to high-yield stocks and prior-year special dividends were not repeated, though dividend income rose from major holdings including Wesfarmers, Qantas and several financial and telecom names.
The company plans to pay a fully franked final dividend of 10.5 cents in June, bringing total dividends for the year to 21.0 cents, marginally above the prior year and extending a three-decade record of maintaining or increasing payouts. Based on the quarter-end share price, the current half-year dividend equates to an annualised gross yield of 6.1%, underpinned by a three-year portfolio return of 9.8% per annum, reinforcing Whitefield’s appeal to income-focused shareholders despite modest year-on-year profit declines.
