Why the dividend matters

The purchase is modest in size, but its timing places shareholder returns back on the calendar. Games Workshop declared a GBP 0.70 per-share dividend on September 17, 2026, bringing dividends announced for fiscal 2027 to GBP 3.00, according to Simply Wall St. The ex-dividend date is October 22, 2026, followed by payment on November 27, 2026.

Three dates shape the story

On January 13, 2026, Games Workshop reported first-half fiscal 2026 revenue of GBP 332.1 million, up 11 percent from the prior-year period, according to Simply Wall St. On July 28, 2026, fiscal year 2026 revenue reached GBP 659.7 million, up 6.8 percent, while net income rose 5.0 percent to GBP 206.0 million, the same source reported. On October 15, 2026, Kheraj acquired 143 shares at GBP 171.10 per share, making the director transaction the latest dated event.

What comes next for earnings

The next two dates are October 22, 2026, for the dividend ex-date, and January 12, 2027, for the first-half fiscal 2027 results, according to Simply Wall St. That timetable gives investors two separate checkpoints: the cash distribution in October and the next operating update in January.

Business performance remains measurable

Games Workshop's fiscal 2026 operating profit was GBP 275.0 million, compared with GBP 261.3 million in fiscal 2025, while net income increased from GBP 196.1 million to GBP 206.0 million.
