Why did WOW rise 13.0% on 25 Feb 2026?
Woolworths
Woolworths shares surged on a clean earnings beat across every metric in its fiscal H1 2026 results, exceeding expectations.
Multiple news articles from the event date attribute the price surge to a strong earnings result, with Kalkine explicitly noting a 'clean earnings beat across every metric.' The magnitude of the move (12.97% up, 12.5x normal range) is consistent with a major positive company-specific announcement rather than a sector or macro event. The dividend announcement also stemmed from the earnings result, but the earnings beat is the primary driver.
