Mar 26, 2026 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) --
Australian-listed companies announced some $33bn worth of dividends during the February reporting season. Listed companies will pay shareholders about $10.7bn worth of dividends next week, following a $12.5bn payout this week. Much of this money is expected to be reinvested in the sharemarket, and Richard Coppleson from Bell Potter says this will "turbocharge" a relief rally following the recent financial market turmoil. Meanwhile, Solaris portfolio manager Charles Casey says the rising price of crude oil is providing a one-off "sugar hit" for energy groups such as Ampol and Woodside Energy, which should boost their earnings and dividends..
