MAF shares fell as investors sold after the stock went ex-dividend on 25 August 2026, following a strong post-results rally of ~18% on 20 August
The Kalkine article explicitly flags MAF going ex-dividend on 25 August, which aligns precisely with the detection date (26 August UTC, i.e. the ex-date trading day in AEST). The stock had surged ~18% on results day (20 August) on record 1H26 earnings, creating elevated entry prices and a natural sell-the-news dynamic compounded by the dividend drop adjustment. The financials sector index was flat (+0.12%), ruling out broad sector selling as a driver, and there are no new company announcements in the window, making the ex-dividend event — amplified by profit-taking after the post-results spike — the most coherent explanation for the outsized ~9.4% decline.
