Spark NZ's Dividend Guidance Less Clear Than Before -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

2025/08/21

0202 GMT - Spark NZ's dividend guidance was sensible but less clear than expected, Forsyth Barr says. The midpoint of implied guidance is 16.5 New Zealand cents a share. That's down from 25.0 cents in FY 2025, and comes with no clear commitment to grow it from this lower base, analyst Aaron Ibbotson says. Still, Forsyth Barr points to lower interest costs, the potential for more cost cuts, a modest economic recovery in New Zealand, and scope for more growth in average revenue per mobile user. These "should be sufficient to offset growing lease payments and declining legacy private cloud and voice to grow free cash flow," Forsyth Barr says. It downgrades Spark NZ to neutral, from outperform.(david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
