What changed beneath the profit jump?
Chronology puts the dividend in context. On September 24, 2026, Soul Patts reported fiscal 2026 statutory net profit after tax of AUD 2.191 billion, up 502 percent from AUD 364 million, according to Investing.com. On October 12, 2026, the AUD 0.63 dividend went ex-dividend. On November 5, 2026, the same AUD 0.63 payment is scheduled for shareholders.
