Brookfield Asset shares jump 5.34% after-hours on 15% dividend hike and Connor Teskey CEO appointment.

Brookfield Asset Management surged 5.34% in after-hours trading following the announcement of record Q4 2025 results, a 15% dividend increase, and the appointment of Connor Teskey as CEO. The company reported distributable earnings of $767 million (47 cents per share), up 18% year-over-year, and fee-related earnings of $867 million ($0.53 per share), a 28% increase. The dividend hike, coupled with $35 billion in Q4 fundraising and $13 billion in capital deployed, underscored strong liquidity and operational momentum. Teskey’s succession from Bruce Flatt, who will remain chairman, was highlighted as a smooth leadership transition, reinforcing investor confidence in long-term stability. The results, combined with strategic moves like the $1.2 billion Peakstone acquisition and a $20 billion AI infrastructure venture with Qatar Investment Authority, signaled robust growth prospects, driving the after-hours rally.
