Summary
The half-year financial report for WAM Research Limited, ended 31 December 2025, details a net loss from ordinary activities of $3,214,178, marking a significant downturn compared to the previous year's profit.

Despite these losses, WAM Research declared an interim dividend of 5.0 cents per share, partially franked at 60%, to be paid on 28 May 2026. The net tangible asset (NTA) backing per share decreased to $1.00 before tax and $1.03 after tax.
