Exxaro stock (ISIN ZAE000084992) was trading at ZAc 17,225 on the JSE on October 5, 2026, up 0.99 percent from the prior close. The company reported ZAR 22.1 billion in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, while headline earnings per share fell 20 percent to ZAR 13.77, according to The National.
Revenue grew as earnings fell
The interim figures present a mixed operating picture. Revenue increased 7 percent from the comparable period, but headline earnings per share declined from ZAR 17.17 to ZAR 13.77, showing that higher sales did not translate into stronger per-share earnings.
Exxaro identifies its latest interim presentation as covering the six months ended June 30, 2026. The investor page also describes the group as a major South African coal supplier that is developing renewable energy solutions and pursuing a net-zero carbon position by 2050.
Portfolio shift has a price
Exxaro agreed in September 2026 to sell its 100 percent stake in the Moranbah South coking-coal project in Australia to Stanmore Resources for ZAR 1.6 billion, as reported by The National on September 6, 2026. The transaction is expected to close before the end of the fourth quarter of 2026 and remains subject to Australian regulatory approvals.
The strategic trade-off is clear: the disposal removes a non-core Australian asset, while coal remains a major earnings pillar and renewable energy and manganese receive greater management attention. The interim dividend also fell from ZAR 8.43 to ZAR 7.00, with payment scheduled for October 5, 2026, according to Simply Wall St.
Exxaro stock trades below yearly high
The JSE quote showed an intraday low of ZAc 16,950 and a high of ZAc 17,228 on October 5, 2026, with 31,833 shares traded by the quoted timestamp of 10:02 a.m. SAST. The 0.99 percent move keeps the session change below the 1 percent threshold for a directional headline, leaving the half-year earnings comparison as the central stock story.
