The bars show the move over a week, a month, this year and 12 months, so you can see the trend at a glance. The trend label is based on the last month. Each card says which shares it matters for.

The ASX closes at 4:00pm Sydney. Right now that is in London, so the ASX trading day is over before most UK readers wake up.

A simulation, not advice. It assumes you buy at the previous ASX closing price and hold through the record date. There is no stamp duty on ASX share purchases. All figures are in Australian dollars. UK investors converting from pounds also pay a currency conversion charge, which varies by broker and is not included, and the sterling value of the dividend depends on the exchange rate on the payment date. Withholding and franking treatment depends on your own tax position.
Only companies whose qualifying cut-off has not passed. Dividend cover shows how many times earnings could pay the dividend: 2x or more is comfortable, below 1x means the company is paying out more than it earned.
Tap any company to see what you would be paid, when it lands, and the franking.
Cover is trailing 12-month earnings per share divided by dividends per share, on reported earnings, from Bigdata.com (FMP data). Listed investment companies are left out because they pay from profit reserves, so earnings cover does not apply in the same way.
Projects, deals and targets the companies themselves have announced in results, filings and investor days, together with the next date that could move the story. These are company plans, not forecasts from The FOMO Dividend. Each one can slip or fail.
Cut-off is the ASX close (16:00 Sydney) on the last trading day before the ex-date. See the Stock Chess tab for the bigger moves in the ASX 200.
Australia's big banks have September year-ends, and Macquarie's half-year ends in September. Their results in early November set the next large, fully franked dividends, which typically go ex within a few weeks. Times are Sydney time, from the Bigdata.com events calendar. Dividends are not declared until results day.

Dividends are in Australian cents (c) per share. "% of price" divides this payment by the previous ASX close. A dash means the figure has not been sourced, not that it is zero. Amounts marked "check" look unusual in the source list and should be confirmed against the company's ASX announcement.
The first day a share trades without the dividend. On the ASX it is set one business day before the record date. Trades settle two business days later (T+2), so you must buy before the ex-date, by the 4:00pm Sydney close the business day before.
A tax credit attached to an Australian dividend for company tax already paid at 30%. A fully franked 70c dividend carries a 30c credit, so the grossed-up dividend is A$1. Australian tax residents can use the credit, and some get it refunded. Non-residents, including UK investors, generally cannot.
The dividend yield including franking credits: cash yield × (1 + franking% × 30/70). It only applies to Australian tax residents who can use the credits.
Franked dividends paid to non-residents are free of Australian dividend withholding tax. The unfranked part is generally taxed at 15% under the UK–Australia tax treaty (30% without treaty relief). Your broker usually handles this. UK tax then applies to the dividend as usual.
How many times earnings could pay the dividend: earnings per share ÷ dividend per share. Below 1x means the company paid out more than it earned.
A company whose business is holding a portfolio of shares, such as AFI or the WAM companies. It pays dividends from its profit reserve and usually passes on franking from the companies it owns.

The highest 12-month dividend yields among ASX-listed Australian companies worth more than A$5bn, plus the big three banks and BHP for comparison. These aren't tied to this week's dates. Use them to build a watch list and catch the next ex-dividend date.
Tap any company to see what a sum invested today would pay over a year, if the last 12 months' dividends were repeated. Your investor setting from the simulator applies here too.
Cash yield is the dividends paid over the last 12 months (Bigdata.com company screen) divided by the ASX close on 12 Oct 2026. Cover is trailing 12-month reported earnings divided by dividends (Bigdata.com, FMP data). Property trusts (A-REITs) and infrastructure groups pay distributions from operating cash flow, so earnings cover does not apply to them; they are flagged "Trust". Franking is shown only where the company's usual policy is well established, otherwise it says "check". A high yield is often a sign that the market expects a cut. Not investment advice.
Every company is playing a game against the market. Interest rates, commodity prices and China set the board. But the biggest share price moves usually come from something the company itself controls: a deal, a sale, a listing, a debt repayment or a regulatory decision. Each card shows the position, the risks, what we want to see next, and the date of the next move.
A company with a problem it has to solve. If it gets out of check, the share price can recover sharply. If it doesn't, the pressure stays on.
A notable move already on the board: a takeover, a merger, a listing, a sale or a demerger. These have a clear win-or-lose outcome.

Positions as at 13 October 2026, from ASX announcements, company results and news coverage. Schemes of arrangement need shareholder, court and regulator approval, and timetables can slip. "Date to confirm" means the company has not yet published the date; the usual timing is shown. Not investment advice.
