Earnings over the last twelve months have risen much faster than the share price and net profit margins have improved to 6.4% from 5.0%. The sentiment reckoning for Joyce is simple. The market is pricing the stock on a trailing P/E of 17.8x, while a discounted cash flow model points to a far higher...

Liontown closed at A$1.225, leaving shareholders weighing a stock that fell over the past week but is still up strongly across the past month against a lithium producer that has just put its first full year of profit on the board.

A high share of earnings is non cash, which raises questions about how much of this headline result...

Austal stock came into this result on a 30 day rise of about 14.7%, with the market leaning toward a recovery story. The FY26 headline did not back that up at group level. Revenue for the year sat at about A$2.0b, yet the company reported a group earnings loss, driven by a sizeable one off accounting hit in the U.S. operations. The real swing factor this time is not revenue growth. It is the earnings squeeze that turned trailing 12 month profit into a loss of about A$53.6m. The rest of the...
