Charter Hall WALE (ISIN AU000000CLW0) was trading at AUD 3.24 on the ASX at 11:46 a.m. AEDT on October 7, 2026, up 1.25 percent from the prior close. The trust's FY2026 operating earnings and distributions provide the main company reference, with both reaching AUD 0.255 per security.

FY2026 earnings rose 2 percent

According to Yahoo Finance, Charter Hall Long WALE REIT reported FY2026 operating earnings and distributions of AUD 0.255 per security, representing 2 percent growth from FY2025. Net tangible assets reached AUD 4.71 per security at June 30, 2026, up 2.6 percent from AUD 4.59 a year earlier.

The result combines income stability with higher financing pressure. Finance costs increased 18.4 percent during FY2026, while the trust maintained its distribution at AUD 0.255 per security and guided to the same operating earnings and distribution figure for FY2027.

Portfolio occupancy stayed high

The FY2026 portfolio contained 505 properties valued at AUD 6.1 billion, with occupancy at 99.9 percent and weighted average lease expiry at 9.2 years, according to Yahoo Finance. Net property income grew 3 percent on a like-for-like basis, while 54 percent of income was linked to consumer prices.

The operating profile matters because long leases and high occupancy support recurring rental income, but the 18.4 percent rise in finance costs shows why interest rates remain important for the trust's earnings outlook.

Refinancing reshaped the balance sheet

Charter Hall Long WALE REIT completed a new AUD 2.0 billion secured debt platform in June 2026. The refinancing reduced average credit margins by 20 basis points to 1.2 percent and extended average debt maturity to 4.3 years, while balance sheet gearing stood at 27.5 percent.

The next dated corporate checkpoint is the securityholder annual general meeting scheduled for October 15, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. AEDT, according to The Globe and Mail.

Analyst target remains above price

The same The Globe and Mail item lists the latest TipRanks rating as Sell with an AUD 3.57 price target. That target lies 10.2 percent above the AUD 3.24 ASX price, a modest gap that leaves the balance between income, valuation and financing costs central to the investment case.

Stock stays below its yearly high

At AUD 3.24 on the ASX on October 7, 2026, Charter Hall WALE stock was 30.5 percent below its 52-week high of AUD 4.66; its market capitalization was AUD 2.3 billion.
