Soul Patts raised its final dividend to AUD 0.63 per share on September 24, 2026, while statutory net profit after tax reached AUD 2.191 billion for fiscal year 2026. For Soul Patts stock, the result matters because the profit increase was heavily influenced by the Brickworks merger and other non-recurring accounting items, according to Investing.com.

Three fiscal 2026 milestones

On September 24, 2026, Soul Patts reported statutory net profit after tax of AUD 2.191 billion, up 502 percent from AUD 364 million in the prior year. The same results update reported post-tax net asset value of AUD 14.5 billion, an increase of 31.4 percent from fiscal year 2025, according to SureStone Capital.

The final dividend rose 6.8 percent to AUD 0.63 per share, taking the full-year dividend to AUD 1.11 per share, up 7.8 percent. Net cash flow from investments increased 11.5 percent to AUD 572 million, providing a more recurring measure of portfolio income than statutory profit, Investing.com reported.

What does the dividend mean?

The payout offers a clearer income signal than the headline profit. The company said the AUD 0.63 final distribution was fully franked, and the AUD 1.11 full-year dividend represented 28 consecutive years of dividend growth, according to Simply Wall St.

The counterweight is earnings quality. Investing.com said AUD 1.5 billion of the statutory gain was non-recurring, including an AUD 1.3 billion day-one accounting gain and tax cost-base reset linked to the Brickworks merger, while operating net profit after tax fell to AUD 319 million in fiscal year 2026.

Payment and meeting dates

The dividend payment is scheduled for November 5, 2026, following the October 12 ex-dividend date. Simply Wall St also lists Soul Patts' annual general meeting for November 27, 2026, giving shareholders two dated events after the fiscal year results.

Simply Wall St listed Soul Patts at a market capitalization of AUD 17.4 billion in its October 14, 2026 update, while its consensus target stood at AUD 40.18. That valuation reference sits alongside the company's AUD 14.5 billion post-tax net asset value for fiscal year 2026, rather than replacing it as an operating measure.
