History
In 1872, Caleb Soul and his son Washington Handley opened a pharmacy store in Pitt Street, Sydney. In 1886, Lewy Pattinson opened a pharmacy in Balmain. In April 1902, Pattinson bought Soul out with the business incorporated as Washington H Soul Pattinson & Company Limited.
On 21 January 1903, the company was listed on the Sydney Stock Exchange.[1] With origins in pharmacy operations (of the same name), today Soul Patts owns a diverse portfolio of investments in various asset classes (equities, private companies, private credit, and property). Soul Patts has never missed paying a dividend since 1903, increasing dividends every year since 2000. In June 2021, terms were agreed to purchase Milton Corporation.[2]
In June 2025, Soul Patts and Brickworks, that already held a 26% stake in Soul Patts, agreed to a $14 billion merger.[3] The deal is subject to shareholder approval.[4][5] Upon completion, Soul Patts would own 72% of the merged entity.[6]
