Jardine Matheson raised its 2026 underlying earnings guidance to a range of USD 5.50-5.65 per share on October 13, up from USD 5.33 previously, according to FinanzNachrichten. Jardine Matheson was trading at EUR 51.10 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 7:05 p.m. CEST, up 0.79 percent versus the Tradegate close of EUR 50.70 on October 20, 2026.

Guidance moves above the old range

The revised guidance followed stronger portfolio performance during the first three quarters, while the company also agreed to buy Balfour Beatty's 50 percent stake in Gammon Construction for GBP 250 million, according to FinanzNachrichten. The consideration is due in three equal tranches through 2028, and Gammon is being placed within Jardine Engineering and Infrastructure.
