MQGPF Dividend: Key Dates and Payment Details

The upcoming interim distribution is AUD 1.831 per security and carries 35% franking. The security is due to trade ex-dividend on 27 August 2026, meaning buyers from that date would generally not be entitled to this declared payment. The scheduled payment date is 14 September 2026.

Based on the supplied price of AUD 106.90, the stated yield for this payment is 1.71%. Dividend Yield alone does not determine total return, but it can be useful when considered alongside Earnings quality, cash generation, balance-sheet capacity and the company’s broader distribution policy.

Recent Company Update

MQGPF is Macquarie Group Capital Notes 6 rather than an ordinary Macquarie share.

Macquarie Group reported FY26 results in May 2026 and maintained a detailed capital-management framework across ordinary Equity and hybrid securities.

The group’s 2026 Shareholder calendar scheduled the MQGPF distribution payment for 14 September 2026.

Why the Latest Update Matters for the Dividend

A dividend becomes more meaningful when it is considered against the Business performance behind it. Earnings, cash conversion, balance-sheet flexibility and capital requirements all influence whether a company can maintain, increase or reduce future payments. Recent results therefore provide context for the current distribution rather than serving as a guarantee of future dividends.

Macquarie’s capital position, regulatory settings, distribution conditions and the terms governing MCN6 will remain more relevant than ordinary-share earnings alone.

What Could Drive the Shares and Dividend Next?

Macquarie’s capital position, regulatory settings, distribution conditions and the terms governing MCN6 will remain more relevant than ordinary-share earnings alone.

The next reporting period will provide another test of whether current operating trends are converting into sustainable cash generation. Investors are also likely to watch any changes to capital allocation, payout policy, Debt levels and forward guidance.

Key Risks to Watch

Hybrid distributions are discretionary and subject to the security terms and regulatory constraints; capital notes also carry conversion, loss-absorption and market-price risks.

Dividends and distributions are not guaranteed. Boards can change payout decisions as earnings, capital needs, regulatory requirements or market conditions evolve. The share price can also adjust around the ex-dividend date and for reasons unrelated to the cash payment itself.

Macquarie Group Capital Notes 6 Dividend Outlook

The upcoming AUD 1.831 interim distribution gives Macquarie Group Capital Notes 6 shareholders a defined near-term income event, with 35% franking and payment due on 14 September 2026. Beyond that payment, the more important question is whether operating performance can support the next distribution cycle. Macquarie’s capital position, regulatory settings, distribution conditions and the terms governing MCN6 will remain more relevant than ordinary-share earnings alone. Continued progress would improve visibility over future income, while weaker earnings or higher capital demands could alter the payout profile.
