Games Workshop stock was trading at GBp 17,780.00 on the London Stock Exchange at 10:14 a.m. BST on September 28, 2026, up 1.20 percent from the prior close. The latest company update supports the move with a 70 pence dividend and total fiscal 2026/27 declared dividends of GBP 3.00.

Dividend reaches GBP 3.00

According to Games Workshop on September 16, 2026, trading through August 30 was in line with the board's expectations for the financial year ending in May. The 70 pence payment is scheduled for November 27, 2026, with an ex-dividend date of October 22, 2026.

The announced total of GBP 3.00 already exceeds the GBP 2.25 declared for the full 2025/26 financial year. For income-focused investors, the key date is October 22, when the latest distribution is scheduled to trade ex-dividend.

Core growth offsets licensing decline

Investing.com reported on September 16, 2026, that Games Workshop's FY2026 revenue rose 10.90 percent to GBP 659.7 million for the 52 weeks ended May 31, 2026. Operating profit increased 5.30 percent to GBP 275.0 million, while profit before tax rose 5.70 percent to GBP 275.7 million.

The composition of that growth matters. Licensing revenue fell to GBP 32.9 million from GBP 52.5 million, while core gross margin improved to 71.10 percent from 69.50 percent and earnings per share increased to 624.0 pence from 594.9 pence.

Stock remains below yearly high

The LSE quote puts Games Workshop at GBp 17,780.00, with a session range of GBp 17,690.00 to GBp 17,910.00 and volume of 12,121 shares on September 28, 2026. The 52-week range is GBp 14,070.00 to GBp 23,540.00, leaving the stock 24.47 percent below its yearly high.

Dividend date sets next checkpoint

Games Workshop's scheduled October 22, 2026 ex-dividend date is the next concrete checkpoint for the stock, while the FY2026 figures show a business balancing 10.90 percent total revenue growth against a lower licensing contribution. The valuation debate therefore centers on the durability of core Warhammer demand and the effect of weaker high-margin licensing revenue.
