The annual ordinary general meeting of Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company (ticker: Fars), scheduled for Saturday, September 5, 2026 (14 Shahrivar 1405), did not take place because the number of shareholders present fell short of the legal quorum, and has been postponed to a second round.

Edalat (Justice) Shares Dividend Will Not Be Paid in Shahrivar
According to Donya-e-Eqtesad, citing Fararu, despite recent rumors, a new payment of Edalat (Justice) Shares dividends will not be made in Shahrivar 1405 (roughly late August to mid September 2026). Per informed sources, the process of collecting profits from investee companies is not yet complete, and the next payment stage requires pooling about 25 trillion tomans in funds that these companies have so far been unable to set aside. Per the report, the dividend due to be paid to more than 40 million Edalat Shares holders in the next stage relates to the final portion of the 1403 fiscal year (ending March 2025) and is estimated at 500,000 to 600,000 tomans per shareholder.

Farabourse Iran Reports 16 Companies Improved Their Audit Opinion Within a Year
According to Boursenews, Jalal Baharestan, Farabourse Iran's deputy for issuer oversight, said that of 83 Farabourse listed companies identified in Shahrivar 1404 (August/September 2025) as having qualified audit opinions, 16 companies, or 20 percent, managed to have their auditor's opinion upgraded to "unqualified" by Shahrivar 1405 (August/September 2026) after a year of follow up. He said the total number of audit qualification clauses across these companies fell 30 percent over the same year. Baharestan said that after identifying the 83 companies, Farabourse engaged with issuers on the issues raised in their audit reports and asked their boards to submit corrective plans and clear timelines to resolve the ambiguities. He said the improvement was not limited to companies exiting qualified status, as other issuers have also improved reporting quality by clarifying their accounts and resolving financial disputes.

Esteghlal Football Club Shares Trade at 125 Tomans on Farabourse Base Market, 70 Percent Below 2022 Peak
Shares of the Esteghlal Cultural and Sports Club on Iran Farabourse's base market have fallen nearly 70 percent from their peak of 410 tomans in September 2022 (Shahrivar 1401) to a range of 122 to 125 tomans in recent days.

Per Sahmino's own price data, the stock last traded at 1,254 rials (about 125.4 tomans). Boursenews reported that Esteghlal's financial statements show 922 billion tomans in accumulated losses, and the company has paid no cash dividend to shareholders in recent years. Its price to book (P/B) ratio stands above 8, which Boursenews said raises the investment risk. The stock would need to rise about 240 percent just to return to its 410 toman peak.

Tehran Stock Exchange Falls 1.23 Percent Today, Two Days After a Trading Core Glitch
Iran's capital market had a fully negative session on Wednesday, September 2, 2026 (11 Shahrivar 1405). According to Ecoiran, Tehran's main index (TEDPIX) fell 80,000 points, or 1.23 percent, closing at 6,503,000 points, while the equal weight index dropped 1.48 percent. By the close, 65 percent of market symbols were trading lower, and about 5.7 trillion tomans in net individual money left stocks, pre emptive rights and equity funds. The decline came after Boursenews reported that Tuesday's session, September 1 (10 Shahrivar), was marked by a malfunction in the exchange's trading system, which in some symbols caused rapid order swings, to the point that names sitting in buy queues briefly saw a jump in sell orders and moved toward sell queues. Despite the glitch, the main index still rose 0.55 percent on Tuesday and retail trading value reached about 60 trillion tomans, but roughly 4.4 trillion tomans in net individual money had already left the market that same day. Ecoiran's report asked a capital market analyst whether today's drop was a reaction to yesterday's system glitch or whether the market, after a substantial rally in recent weeks, has simply entered a natural corrective phase.

Trading on the Tehran Stock Exchange closed with a fresh index record on Tuesday, 10 Shahrivar 1405 (September 1, 2026), even as sellers dominated the session. According to Ecoiran, the main TEDPIX index gained 0.55 percent, or 35,969 points, closing at 6,583,000 points, a new record following yesterday's record close of 6,548,000 points.

Mapna Power Plant Group Plans 430 Megawatt Solar Project as 1404 Net Profit Reaches 7.75 Trillion Tomans
Hamed Nikkar, a board member of the Mapna Group Power Plant Management Company (ticker وMPGZ, known as Vampna), said, according to a Boursenews report published Monday, 9 Shahrivar 1405 (August 31, 2026), that construction of about 430 megawatts of solar power capacity is included in the holding's investment plan. He named renewable energy development as one of the company's core priorities, alongside boosting the efficiency of existing plants and adding new thermal capacity, saying diversifying the power generation mix, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lower operating costs justify the solar investment. Citing the company's financial results, Nikkar said Vampna's net profit for the 1404 fiscal year (ended March 2026) reached about 7.754 trillion tomans, driven by the performance of subsidiary companies and higher returns from its power plant assets. He said plants owned and managed by the Mapna Group have a combined generation capacity of about 6,500 megawatts, and that with national electricity demand rising, building new capacity alongside improving the efficiency of existing plants is increasingly important. He also said the company plans to convert gas units to combined cycle configuration to raise output without building new plants, and that the capital market could help fund part of Vampna's power plant investment needs.

Kian Financial Group Holding Approves 180 Percent Capital Increase From Retained Earnings
The extraordinary general assembly of Kian Financial Group Holding (ticker Kiana) was held on Saturday, 18 Mordad 1405 (August 9, 2026), and approved a capital increase for the company.

The company trading under the symbol شکام (Shokam) disclosed on codal on Saturday, 23 August 2026 (1 Shahrivar 1405) that its board has approved price increases on some products, to take effect from the date of approval. According to this Group B disclosure, the approved average price increase is 17 percent for ethoxylate group products, 36 percent for trading group products and 35 percent for active pharmaceutical ingredients.

The increase was stated as 8 percent of the company's total sales revenue for the prior financial year and 7 percent of its total assets for the prior year. Like other recent price increases, this is a margin recovery against cost pressure rather than growth in physical sales.

The total distributed comes to 2,990,000 million rials, against registered capital of 11,500,000 million rials. A payout below half of the period's earnings leaves roughly 59 percent of the profit inside the company. That pattern is common at companies that need to reinvest, but it delivers a smaller cash yield to a holder seeking annual income than an assembly with a high payout does.

Safars Assembly Approves a Cash Dividend of 3,520 Rials per Share
The annual general meeting of the company trading under the symbol سفارس (Safars), covering the 12 month period ended 31 Ordibehesht 1405 (21 May 2026), was held on Tuesday, 19 August 2026 (28 Mordad 1405) and approved a cash dividend of 3,520 rials per share.

According to those minutes, earnings per share for the period were 3,799 rials and net income was 75,988,804 million rials. That puts the payout ratio at 92.66 percent, meaning the assembly voted to distribute almost all of the period's earnings to shareholders. The total amount distributed is 70,400,000 million rials, against registered capital of 20,000,000 million rials. A payout ratio at this level means holders receive most of the period's profit in cash, while less is retained inside the company to fund its own projects internally.

Tehran Stock Exchange Nears 6 Million Point Threshold in a Fourth Straight Positive Week
Tehran Stock Exchange's main index (TEDPIX) closed the last trading day of last week, Thursday, 29 Mordad 1405, at 5,952,000 points, narrowing its distance to the 6 million point threshold to under 1 percent.

Sahmino's own price data likewise recorded the index at 5,952,488 points as of 29 Mordad 1405 (August 19, 2026), consistent with the Donya-e-Eqtesad figure. Ebrahim Samavi, a financial markets analyst, told Donya-e-Eqtesad that if the rally broadens beyond a handful of large caps to include small and mid cap stocks alongside index heavyweight industries, the market's upward momentum would strengthen. Analysts said a durable break above 6 million points would require stronger catalysts, with the index's next resistance near 6.2 million points; should political risks intensify, a correction scenario toward support around 4.4 to 4.5 million points remains on the table.
