Summary
WAM Capital Limited announced its 2026 half-year results, highlighting a 2.0% increase in its investment portfolio for the six months ending 31 December 2025.

WAM Capital maintained an interim dividend of 7.75 cents per share, partially franked at 60%, with plans to pay it on 29 May 2026. The company emphasized its long-term investment strategy, which has returned more than $2.1 billion in dividends and franking credits since inception. WAM Capital's share price continues to trade significantly above its NTA value.
