0045 GMT - Regis Resources' 2H dividend is likely to surprise the market positively, reckons Macquarie. It forecasts a final payout of A$0.18/share. That's some 15% higher than consensus expectations of A$0.157/share. It equates to a FY 2026 dividend yield of 6.0%, which Macquarie describes as exceptional for a gold stock. "Additionally, in an upside scenario where we increased our dividend payout ratio to 50% this would increase our forecast 2HFY26 dividend of A$0.25 (59% above Visible Alpha of A$0.157) and lifting FY26 dividend yield to 7.1%," Macquarie says. It has an outperform call on Regis. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
