P/E over time

Filing-period markers only: EOD close on or before each release date divided by filing-derived trailing NPAT where both inputs verify. Periods with P/E at or above 100x are shown as gaps because earnings yield below 1% makes the multiple denominator-driven, not meaningful. Suppressed periods: HY23, FY23, FY24, HY25.

The setup & the reality

HY26 → FY26 Follow-through

The latest result is checked against what the prior briefing said to watch.

Historical setup

What HY26 said to watch

Previous analysisHY26Result releasedAnnolyse analysis published

From Revenue rose 3.9% but EBITDAF fell 7.9% as costs outpaced growth

No stated targets or explicit guidance are disclosed in this release, so the result cannot be judged against a company target; the reader can only assess it against the reported movements themselves. Auckland Airport typically weights results toward the second half (HY25 was 49.8% of FY25 revenue), so a straight-line annualisation of this half would understate the likely full-year outcome, though the direction of that seasonal lift cannot be confirmed without forward guidance.

Management's own underlying profit measure, which excludes revaluations and one-off items, is reported separately from statutory NPAT; this briefing treats that non-GAAP figure as company commentary only and relies on the statutory PBT and NPAT growth of -6.1% and -5.5% as the cleaner comparable read.

Open questions

Open questions from HY26

  • What specific cost lines drove EBITDAFI down 7.9% while revenue grew 3.9%?
  • Why was the dividend increased to 6.5 cents per share while NPAT fell 5.5% and the payout ratio reached 62.6%?
  • How sustainable is leverage at 6.2x net debt/EBITDA, up from 5.0x, if capex needs increase again next half?
  • Does the rise in debtor days to 31.7, above the historical average, reflect a specific customer or timing issue?
  • Will second-half seasonality be sufficient to offset the margin compression seen this half?

This briefing cannot assess full-year outcomes or dividend sustainability with confidence because no stated targets, forward guidance, or full-year dividend policy figures were disclosed in this release.
