WAM Capital (ISIN AU000000WAM2) was linked to director Geoff Wilson's AUD 90,233 purchase on October 12, 2026, according to StockLight. The purchase followed a difficult fiscal 2026, when the investment portfolio declined 10.50 percent and the board reset its dividend target for fiscal 2027.

Dividend policy changes after losses

Kapitales Research reported on September 24, 2026 that WAM Capital's operating loss before tax reached AUD 186.70 million in fiscal 2026, compared with a profit of AUD 304.00 million in fiscal 2025. The after-tax result was a loss of AUD 125.90 million, compared with profit of AUD 219.60 million a year earlier.

The board maintained total fiscal 2026 distributions at 15.50 cents per share, including a final dividend of 7.75 cents per share that is 60.00 percent franked. The payment date is October 21, 2026, while the fiscal 2027 target is AUD 0.08 per share, down from the prior annualized distribution of AUD 0.155.

Three dated dividend milestones

On February 27, 2026, WAM Capital announced a 7.75-cent interim dividend, according to StockLight. On August 28, 2026, the company reported fiscal 2026 results and maintained total distributions at 15.50 cents per share, as Kapitales Research described. On October 8, 2026, the final dividend went ex-dividend at 7.75 cents per share.

What does the reset mean?

The dividend change reflects the gap between portfolio performance and distributions. The 10.50 percent fiscal 2026 portfolio decline contrasted with a 5.70 percent gain for the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index, while pre-tax net tangible assets fell to AUD 1.22 per share from AUD 1.57, according to Kapitales Research. For investors, the lower target prioritizes reserve rebuilding over maintaining the previous payout rate.
