Wesfarmers pays AUD 1.20 dividend and Wesfarmers stock trades at EUR 47.54

Wesfarmers (ISIN AU000000WES1) was trading at EUR 47.54 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 9:32 a.m. CEST, up 0.98 percent versus the prior close of EUR 47.08. The company paid an AUD 1.20 dividend on October 7, 2026 for the six-month period ending June 30, according to Wesfarmers in its September 30, 2026 distribution update.

Dividend date meets FY26 growth

The payout is tied to Wesfarmers' June 2026 reporting period and was fully franked, with the company also setting an AUD 73.69850 dividend reinvestment price. The payment date gives the stock a concrete income reference as the group enters fiscal 2027.

Veye reported on September 28, 2026 that FY26 revenue rose 3.40 percent to AUD 47.27 billion from AUD 45.70 billion. Underlying EBIT increased 7.30 percent to AUD 4.49 billion, while underlying net profit rose to AUD 2.87 billion from AUD 2.65 billion.

Retail earnings support the valuation

The FY26 figures show a business still expanding despite pressure on household budgets. Bunnings earnings increased 5.00 percent and Kmart earnings grew 6.00 percent, while WesCEF earnings rose 18.50 percent to AUD 473.00 million, according to Veye's report.

The earnings mix matters because Bunnings and Kmart remain the largest operating contributors, while chemicals and fertilizer operations add a separate earnings stream. Wesfarmers' businesses include Bunnings, Kmart and Officeworks, as well as industrial and resource operations.

Hold rating highlights key risk

According to Motley Fool Australia on October 6, 2026, Catapult Wealth's Steven Springford rated Wesfarmers Hold. The assessment cited steady growth and reliable earnings and dividends, while higher interest rates and weaker household spending were identified as risks.

That view puts the AUD 1.20 dividend alongside the FY26 earnings record rather than treating the payout as a standalone signal. For investors, the key balance is continued earnings growth against a retail environment where consumers remain sensitive to financing costs and disposable income.
