2310 GMT - Is Atlas Arteria's dividend at risk after IFM gained majority control of the toll-road owner? Macquarie thinks it could be. Atlas Arteria had previously guided to a dividend of A$0.40/share in 2026. "However, following the change in control and a new chairperson, we see potential for a return to dividend being aligned with cash flow from the underlying assets, as Atlas Arteria's surplus cash has now been deployed," Macquarie says. Its base case assumes a cut to the 2H dividend to 13.5 Australian cents. It also expects the dividend to be flat in 2027 and increase by A$0.04/share in 2028. That assumes no change in currency rates. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
