What else do investors need to know?

The company’s strong earnings performance allowed for record dividend payments, reflecting its updated capital management policy. Along with ongoing investment in production and development, Regis continues to prioritise shareholder returns with a 39% payout ratio this year.

Regis spent $23 million advancing the McPhillamys Gold Project and maintained a healthy balance sheet after $307 million in tax and dividend payments. The company returned to paying regular income tax instalments during FY26, with future tax payments expected to remain strong.

Dividend key dates are: ex-dividend on 10 September 2026, record date on 11 September, and payment on 7 October. The dividend reinvestment plan remains suspended.

What did Regis Resources management say?

Regis Resources CEO and Managing Director Jim Beyer said:

Regis has delivered an outstanding result for FY26, generating record net profit after tax of $715M, record EBITDA of $1.345B and record statutory operating cash flows of $1.247B. This performance reflects the consistency of our operations and the continued strengthening of our balance sheet.

What’s next for Regis Resources?

Looking ahead, Regis has reaffirmed its FY27 guidance, targeting between 360,000 and 400,000 ounces of gold production and group AISC of $2,990–$3,390 per ounce. Growth capital of $250–$270 million is weighted towards the first half, as new open pits are developed and the Rosemont Stage 3 project progresses.

The company’s unhedged position and strong cash balance put it in good shape to invest further in operations and growth opportunities, while keeping shareholder returns front of mind. Management projects a “catch-up” tax payment of $220–$240 million later in the year as part of its ongoing obligations.

Telstra Group Ltd (ASX: TLS) shares tumbled further into the red on Thursday.

At the close of the ASX on Thursday afternoon, the ASX telco stock had tumbled around 1% and ended the day at an annual low of just $4.71 a piece.

The shares are now down over 6% since the company posted its FY26 update last week, and have now shed around 16% of their value from a 10-year high of $5.55 recorded in mid-May.

For the year to date, Telstra shares are down around 4%.

What pushed Telstra shares to a fresh low this week?

It looks like the telco’s FY26 results announcement last week was the catalyst. 

The company posted a 0.8% decline in revenue, a 4.9% increase in NPAT, and a 4% increase in EBITDA.

Telstra also posted a final dividend of 10.5 cents per share with 90.48% franking, up 10.5% from the 9.5 cents with 100% franking paid in FY25.

The company also announced a further on-market share buyback of up to $1 billion. Telstra completed its $1.25 billion on-market share buyback in June. 

In FY 2027, Telstra expects continued underlying EBITDA growth with an earnings guidance range between $8.5 billion and $8.8 billion.

It looks like the results were a miss versus expectations, and investors weren’t too thrilled. They’ve continued taking their gains off the table following a huge rally earlier this year.

So, what’s next?

Here’s what the experts have to say.

Here’s the outlook for Telstra shares over the next 12 months

It looks like analysts and brokers are reserved about the outlook for the telco stock following its results.

Market Index data shows that the majority of brokers have a hold rating on the shares. But the $5.06 average target price now implies around an 8% upside at the time of writing.

Similarly, on TradingView, the majority of analysts also have a hold rating on Telstra shares. The average $5 target price implies around a potential 7% upside at the time of writing. But the range between the minimum and maximum is quite large. Some think the shares could fall another 10% to $4.20, and others think the shares could jump 17% higher to $5.50 a piece, over the next 12 months.

Morgans confirmed its hold rating and $5 target price on Telstra shares following the announcement. The broker said the result and FY27 guidance are largely as expected, with FY26 itself coming in at the middle-to-top end of guidance.

Bell Potter agrees that the Telstra result is largely in line with expectations, although total income and NPAT were softer than forecasts. The broker has a hold rating but lowered its target price to $4.80.
