With less than half a day of trade left on Friday, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is down 0.7% since last week’s close, but don’t blame these three surging ASX 200 stocks.

Here’s why they’ve managed to leap higher despite this week’s sliding market.

Evolution Mining Ltd (ASX: EVN)

In afternoon trade today, Evolution Mining shares are changing hands for $15.23, putting this ASX 200 stock up 15.3% for the week.

Among this week’s tailwinds, the gold miner has benefited from a 3.5% increase in the gold price since last Friday. The yellow metal is currently fetching US$4,527 per ounce, according to data from Bloomberg.

Evolution shares also grabbed investor interest following the release of the miner’s FY 2026 results on Wednesday.

Highlights included underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $3.17 billion, up 44% year on year. And the ASX 200 gold stock notched a record statutory profit after tax of $1.48 billion, up 59% from FY 2025.

With profits soaring, management increased the final fully-franked dividend by 62% to 21 cents per share.

Regis Resources Ltd (ASX: RRL)

The second ASX 200 stock leaping higher in this week’s sliding market is Regis Resources.

Shares in the gold miner are currently trading for $8.47 each, up 15.2% since last Friday’s close.

Atop benefiting from the rising gold price over the week, Regis also released its FY 2026 results this morning, with shares up 3.9% in intraday trade today.

The financial year just past saw Regis sell 373,879 ounces of gold for an average price of $6,283 per ounce.

The company reported revenue of $2.35 billion, up 43% year on year. And net profit after tax (NPAT) leapt 181% to a new record $715 million.

The gold miner declared a fully-franked final dividend of 20 cents per share.

Which brings us to our top-performing stock of the week…

CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL)

Currently trading for $167.60, CSL shares are up 22.8% for the week.

Shares in the Aussie biotech giant closed up a whopping 17.3% on Tuesday following the release of CSL’s FY 2026 results.

Investors were piling into the ASX 200 stock despite CSL reporting revenue of US$15.8 billion, down 1% from FY 2025. And on the bottom line, NPATA of US$3.1 billion was down 2%.

However, CSL shares look to have benefited from the positive outlook management forecast for FY 2027.

“FY26 has been a year of reset. We have taken decisive action and created a clear path to return to sustainable growth,” CSL interim CEO Gordon Naylor said.

CSL expects steady revenue in FY 2027, while forecasting a 5% increase in underlying NPAT.

The Guzman Y Gomez Ltd (ASX: GYG) dividend has been announced along with the FY26 result. The numbers give shareholders a cash payout, along with insights into company performance.

Excluding the US operations that are being closed, the company reported network sales growth of 17.9% to $1.38 billion, revenue increased 21.8% to $520.4 million, underlying operating profit (EBITDA) rose 28.7% to $85 million, and statutory net profit soared 31.6% to $40.6 million.

The company also noted that it opened 35 new restaurants across Australia and Asia this year and added 62 new sites to its Australian development pipeline.

With its profit generation in Australia, the business was able to declare a large final dividend with the FY26 result.

Guzman Y Gomez dividend

GYG has declared an FY26 final dividend of 40.6 cents per share and includes a special dividend of 14.4 cents per share.

The special dividend retrospectively increases the implied dividend payout ratio for the interim dividend (which was 7.4 cents per share) to an implied dividend payout ratio of around 90% of underlying earnings to reflect the removal of US losses from its earnings.

The increase of the dividend also reflects an increase in earnings and reduced Guzman Y Gomez share count after the completion of its share buyback.

GYG’s board of directors also approved the extension of the share buyback program to a further $100 million.

At the time of writing, following the jump of the Guzman Y Gomez share price, the final dividend represents a dividend yield of 1.6%, excluding franking credits, and 2.2%, including franking credits.

When will this be paid?

Before getting to the exciting payment date for the upcoming GYG dividend, we need to look at the ex-dividend date.

The ex-dividend date is the cut-off day for investors who want to receive the payout. Investors need to own shares before this date to be entitled to the dividend.

Guzman Y Gomez’s ex-dividend date for the FY26 final dividend is 15 September 2026, which is less than a month away. Therefore, investors have until the end of trading on 14 September 2026 to buy shares.

The dividend will then be paid on 30 September 2026, which is just over a month away, so investors won’t have a long time to wait.

There is no dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) relating to this upcoming dividend.

What is the full-year GYG dividend yield?

Based on the interim and final dividends, the business will deliver a full-year dividend of 48 cents per share. At the time of writing, that translates into a dividend yield of 1.9%, excluding franking credits, and 2.7%, including franking credits.
