ATO. Not a company to get too excited about. I own it due to existing gain held in taxable acct. Their FY2025 just ended and....

2025 actual EPS up 9% over 2024.
2025 Last Feb, the 2025 dividend increased 8.1% over FY 2024.
2026 New dividend for FY 2026 is $4.00, a 14.9% increase over FY 2025.

FY 2026 Guidance $8.15 - $8.35, a 10% increase over 2025 actual.
Planned 6.0% - 8.0% annual EPS growth through FY 2030.
FY 2030 Guidance of $10.80 - $11.20.

So a small 2.3% dividend + 7% LT growth = 10% perhaps.
Stock up 3% today, 26% YTD.
Not cheap, but a normal 19 PE for a utility.
