Motus stock sits 23.4 percent below its yearly high

Motus stock sits 23.4 percent below its 52-week high after the share was last quoted at ZAc 10,623 on the JSE on October 7, 2026, down 0.93 percent for the session. The latest full-year figures show profit growing faster than revenue, while the shareholder payout also increased.

Profit growth outpaced revenue

According to FinancialSumo on September 29, 2026, Motus reported fiscal 2026 revenue of ZAR 113,550 million for the year ended June 30, 2026, up 1 percent from ZAR 112,598 million in fiscal 2025. Attributable profit rose 19 percent to ZAR 2,984 million, creating a clear gap between sales growth and earnings growth.

The same report put pretax profit at ZAR 4,005 million, an increase of 20 percent, while operating profit rose 4 percent to ZAR 5,714 million. Cash generated from operations increased 6 percent to ZAR 7,990 million, giving the earnings improvement a cash-flow counterpart.

Dividend rises to ZAR 7.10

Motus increased its total fiscal 2026 dividend by 29 percent to ZAR 7.10 per share, including a final payment of ZAR 4.10, according to FinancialSumo. The final installment represented 40 percent of headline earnings per share, compared with 35 percent a year earlier.

The payout offers income support, but the operating mix remains important. South African operations supplied 60 percent of fiscal 2026 revenue and 68 percent of operating profit, leaving the group closely tied to conditions in its home market. The modest 1 percent revenue increase is therefore the key counterweight to the stronger profit and cash figures.

AGM date is November 2

Motus has scheduled its annual general meeting for November 2, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. CAT, according to the company's SENS notice published on September 30, 2026. The notice identifies Motus Holdings Limited, share code MTH and ISIN ZAE000261913, and sets October 20, 2026, as the last day to trade for eligibility to attend the meeting, as reported by SENS.

For investors, the numbers point to a company whose earnings and cash generation expanded faster than its top line in fiscal 2026. The share price was last at ZAc 10,623 on October 7, 2026, against a 52-week range of ZAc 9,907 to ZAc 13,873, with volume of 329,583 shares.
