Wesfarmers (ISIN AU000000WES1) was trading at EUR 46.44 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 8:34 a.m. CEST, down 1.09 percent versus the prior close of EUR 46.95. A September 30 dividend reinvestment update confirmed that the AUD 1.20 fully franked final dividend is scheduled for payment on October 7, 2026, as The Bull reported.

Dividend timing meets softer retail growth

The payment date gives shareholders a defined near-term cash-flow event, although the ex-dividend date of September 1, 2026 has already passed. The full-year distribution reached AUD 2.22 per share after the final payment was added to the AUD 1.02 interim dividend, according to TipRanks.

The dividend sits alongside a fiscal 2026 result that combined sales growth with stronger underlying earnings. Veye reported that revenue rose from AUD 45.70 billion in fiscal 2025 to AUD 47.27 billion in fiscal 2026, while underlying EBIT increased to AUD 4.49 billion and underlying net profit after tax reached AUD 2.87 billion.

Analyst target stays near the market price

TipRanks lists a Sell rating and an AUD 73.30 price target for Wesfarmers. That target is below the AUD 75.73 ASX quote supplied for October 1, 2026, separating the Australian listing context from the euro reference price used in this article.

Wesfarmers entered fiscal 2027 with operating differences across its retail portfolio. Bunnings earnings increased 5.00 percent in fiscal 2026, Kmart earnings rose 6.00 percent, and WesCEF earnings grew 18.50 percent to AUD 473 million, according to Veye. Those figures give the dividend story a broader test: cash distribution is rising while retail momentum still depends on divisional execution.
