Woodside Energy Group's (ASX:WDS) net profit after tax and dividend for 2025 slightly beat expectations; however, the company's shares are unlikely to see a material reaction, according to a Tuesday report from Jarden Research.

On Tuesday, the company reported underlying net profit after tax of $2.65 billion, a small beat to Jarden's expectations of $2.51 billion.

It maintained its 80% pay-out ratio, and declared a final dividend of $0.59 per share, up from $0.53 a year earlier.

Investors' focus is now on the appointment details of a new Chief Executive Officer and the company is expected to make an appointment within the quarter, Jarden said.

Jarden has an overweight rating on Woodside Energy and an AU$25.2 price target.

Shares of the company rose 2% at market close.
