Viva Energy stock (ISIN AU0000016875) reported AUD 452.0 million in net income for the half year ended June 30, 2026, compared with a net loss in the prior-year period. The result puts the Australian fuel refiner and convenience retailer's recovery at the center of the investment case after a sharp earnings swing.

H1 sales and payout reset

According to Simply Wall St on September 7, 2026, sales reached AUD 16,487.5 million in the first half, up from the prior-year period, while net income swung to AUD 452.0 million. The board also declared a fully franked interim dividend of AUD 0.0773 per share, equal to a 70 percent payout ratio for the Commercial and Mobility and Commercial and Industrial businesses.

The comparison is important because the earnings recovery was stronger than the top-line change. Simply Wall St reports that first-half adjusted earnings per share reached AUD 0.28, versus a loss of AUD 0.12 per share in the first half of 2025, while revenue rose 10 percent to AUD 16.5 billion. Revenue missed analyst estimates by 15 percent, whereas earnings per share exceeded estimates by 16 percent.
