Wilson Bayly stock gains 1.17 percent as dividend dates near

Wilson Bayly stock was trading at ZAc 14,153 on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange at 2:28 p.m. SAST on October 5, 2026, up 1.17 percent from the prior close. The company entered the new month after reporting fiscal 2026 results and declaring a final dividend of 320 cents per share, according to Moneyweb on September 8, 2026.

Revenue slips as order book holds

For the year ended June 30, 2026, revenue from continuing operations fell 0.6 percent to ZAR 28.3 billion from ZAR 28.5 billion. Operating profit declined 3 percent to ZAR 1.37 billion from ZAR 1.42 billion, while earnings per share from continuing operations decreased to 2,262 cents from 2,299 cents.

The order book provided a counterweight to the weaker income statement. It stood at ZAR 37.6 billion at June 2026, unchanged from the prior year, while net asset value increased to ZAR 6.3 billion from ZAR 5.6 billion, according to Moneyweb.

Dividend calendar sets October dates

The declared gross dividend matches the 320-cent payment for fiscal 2025. Trading ex dividend begins on October 21, 2026, followed by the October 23 record date and October 26 payment date, according to Moneyweb. The net dividend after the stated 20 percent withholding tax is 256 cents per share.

For investors, the figures present a split picture: the order book is stable and net asset value is higher, but revenue, operating profit and continuing-operations earnings per share all declined year over year. The dividend has remained unchanged despite the softer operating result.
