Spark New Zealand (NZTELE0001S4) paid its NZD 0.08 per-share final dividend on October 2, 2026, according to the Spark Investor Centre. The payment lifted the total fiscal 2026 dividend to NZD 0.16 per share and keeps shareholder distributions central to the company story.

Dividend follows stronger cash flow

Yahoo Finance reported on the fiscal 2026 earnings call held August 20, 2026, that adjusted revenue remained NZD 3.70 billion for the year ended June 30, 2026. Adjusted EBITDA declined 2.40 percent to NZD 1,035 million, while free cash flow increased 18.50 percent to NZD 308 million.

The comparison matters because the reported result benefited from a NZD 278 million gain on the sale of 75 percent of the data center business. The adjusted figures therefore give the cleaner view of recurring operations, while the dividend was equal to 100 percent of fiscal 2026 free cash flow.

Mobile offsets pressure elsewhere

Mobile revenue increased 4.40 percent to NZD 1.50 billion in fiscal 2026, and mobile service revenue rose 1.10 percent to NZD 998 million, according to Yahoo Finance. Digital Services revenue moved in the opposite direction, falling 3.40 percent to NZD 372 million as customers shifted from private cloud and legacy services toward modern alternatives.

For fiscal 2027, Spark guides to adjusted EBITDA of NZD 1,010 million to NZD 1,080 million and free cash flow of NZD 300 million to NZD 350 million. The company also expects a fiscal 2027 dividend range of NZD 0.16 to NZD 0.18 per share, subject to board approval.

Digital review shapes the next phase

In a September 3, 2026 update, Simply Wall St said Spark expects to complete its Digital Services review in the first half of fiscal 2027. The review could change the mix of cloud, IT services and connectivity inside the group, but management has said that any transaction outcome remains dependent on the process.

The operating split leaves investors with two measurable markers: mobile service revenue growth of 1.10 percent and adjusted EBITDA decline of 2.40 percent in fiscal 2026. That gap shows why the dividend and cash-flow figures currently carry more information than reported net profit alone.

Market value and prior close

Spark New Zealand had a market capitalization of NZD 3.7 billion and a 52-week range of NZD 1.77 to NZD 2.46 as of October 6, 2026. Lang & Schwarz showed a prior close of EUR 0.98 for October 5, 2026, with the dated quote on October 6, 2026.
