Lendlease director increases Lendlease stock stake

Lendlease director Lianne Buck increased her direct holding in the company's ordinary stapled securities on October 5, 2026, according to The Globe and Mail. The transaction puts renewed attention on the property group's capital position after a difficult fiscal 2026.

Construction delivers the growth

Yahoo Finance reported that construction revenue increased 29.00 percent to AUD 3.9 billion in fiscal 2026 from AUD 3.0 billion in fiscal 2025. New work secured rose 28.00 percent to AUD 6.4 billion, while backlog revenue reached AUD 8.4 billion, up 42.00 percent from the prior year.

The operating improvement was visible in the construction margin, which reached 4.30 percent in fiscal 2026. Group-wide, however, Lendlease recorded a statutory loss after tax of AUD 749 million, while reported gearing stood at 30.30 percent at the fiscal year-end.

Capital recycling remains central

The same fiscal 2026 earnings call set out a sharper balance-sheet focus. Lendlease had AUD 2.5 billion of invested capital remaining in its Capital Release Unit and AUD 4.0 billion of committed and available liquidity, according to Yahoo Finance.

For fiscal 2027, management indicated an IDC earnings-per-security range of AUD 0.37-AUD 0.41. The range contrasts with the fiscal 2026 IDC result of AUD 0.337 per security and gives the construction recovery a measurable role in the outlook.
