Feb 16 (Reuters) - Australia's Treasury Wine Estates TWE.AX on Monday reported a 46.3% slump in first-half underlying profit and temporarily suspended the payment of its fiscal 2026 interim dividend as a measure to prioritise preservation of capital.

The country's biggest wine producer reported net profit after tax before material items and SGARA of A$128.5 million ($90.85 million) for the six months ended December 31, down from A$239.6 million a year ago.

That slightly beat the Visible Alpha consensus estimate of A$127.8 million.
